    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       12/14/2020   So delighted with this - super easy, pretty presentation, and delicious. I also like that it features the natural sweetness of the fruit and isn't too sugary. I made it with oat milk because that's all I had on hand, turned out great.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       03/17/2019   I made it exactly as directed and loved it. The pears seemed rather juicy, so I did extend the bake time by 5 minutes to make sure that the center was properly baked. It turned out perfectly.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/02/2018   The is very easy and delicious. I made this in individual tart pans, sprinkled on cinnamon and cardamom, and reduced the baking time to about 17 minutes. Came out great!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/15/2011   This recipe is great! I have made this with pears and sprinkled a little cardamom in it and I have also made this with apples and added some Cinnamon.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/07/2011   Pretty disappointed with this custard. Came out really eggy tasting.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/25/2010   Ya'll..... please don't laugh, but I did not want to make my planned sweet potato pie, so I made this without the pears. just the custard. I really like it too. So easy and much less work.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/27/2010   This recipe is fantastic! Taste like it camefrom a French country p?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/15/2009   Fantastic that the above person is perusing the internet for grammatical infractions! Get a life, enjoy the great recipe, easy and a WOW crowdpleaser, or is that incorrect English??  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2009   I made this last night and it was delicious! I swapped apples for pears - I used two apples (one large and one small). Two layers of overlapping apples. Wonderful. I can't wait to make it again soon!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/18/2008   Could I make with apples also?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/16/2008   I love this recipe, but the bake time is too long. I only bake it 20 to 25 minutes and its perfect. Could the bake time be a typo.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/28/2008   I agree with everyone about how easy it is. And delicious, especially with the Barlett's from my yard! When the comice are ready I will try it with them as well.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/12/2008   Super easy to make and it tasted great! And it comes out looking exactly like the photo, will make again in the Fall.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/30/2008   Very easy to make especially when you need a fast to make dessert with unexpected guests! My husband likes it.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/08/2008   I made this and it was an absolute hit! I think next time I'm going to swap out the pears and place apples instead with some freshly ground cinnamon. So simple to make!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/25/2007   Easy to make. Everyone raved about it at Thanksgiving because it was refreshing and not too heavy or sweet. I will be making this again and again!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/24/2007   A very easy dessert to make. Great with dark chocolate ice-cream
