French Pear Pie Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (French Pear Pie Recipe). This is one of my family's greatest recipes. It is about 30 times better than apple pie, especially if you use fresh nutmeg. You can certainly substitute the pears for peaches too, if they're in season. Let cool or serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
