Pear Pie
July 29th, 2007
Cream 100g butter with 150g sugar fluffy. Add one by one 3 eggs and mix it well. Add 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 250g low fat quark and 150g selfraising flour. Spoon it until you have a fluffy and smooth batter. Fill a greased and floured baking tin with the batter. Peel, core and slice 3 pears. Put the pears on the batter. Sprinkle some 30g ground almonds and scatter some cinnamon and sugar over it. Place the baking tin in the preheated oven at 160C (fan) for about 90 minutes. Cool the pear pie in the baking tin for a bit, get it out of the baking tin and enjoy!

Tried this pear pie and it is wonderful. Did not have quark cheese, but used 4 oz cream cheese and sour cream (250 g. combined) eleminated lemon juice. Used walnuts instead of almonds. I am a conventional pie baker, but this entry has gone into my regular cycle. The crust (cake) mixed with the pears and was deligthful. MY complements to the creator of this pie!
