Creamy Pear Almond Pie

An amazing pie with a delicate creamy pear filling. I have been meaning to make this pie for a very long time. One look at the composition of the ingredients allows you to guess what deliciousness you will end up with. It is better to use pears that are not very hard, so that the filling is juicy and the fruit is well baked. When baked, the creamy filling turns into a dense custard. Combined with a slightly crispy dough, the result is a wonderful and tasty pie.
