Yum! Thanks so much for sharing. It turned out great, although I thought the streusel didn't mix up well. It still tasted great. I used Splenda instead of the sugars.Reply

Great pie! I had to make the topping a little different because I didn't have coconut. Instead of the coconut I put about 1/3 cup of chopped up pecans, and 1/4 cup of oatmeal.Reply

Seasoned Cook is right when she says this recipe is "a delight". It certainly is. I used nearly-but-not-quite-ripe conference pears (4 cups worked out at seven of them - about 2 lbs or just under 1 kg unprepared weight came to 4 cups once peeled and sliced fairly thinly), and Recipe #177343 for the pastry shell (with a little sugar added). When I lifted the pears from the pan, I drained them in a sieve over the pan to catch all their juices before adding them to the pastry shell. I was worried that they might make the pastry soggy, but they didn't. I didn't have enough thickened juices to "pour" over the fruit, so I just spooned it as evenly as I could, and it came out beautifully. For the brown sugar, I used demerara, which had a lovely crunch. There is nothing I would change about this recipe - it was lovely just as it is, and we all liked it.
