Poppy seed cake with pear
Description
This rich, flavorful pie is sure to delight lovers of poppy seed pastries. Delicate, crispy pastry paired with an abundant poppy seed filling is complemented by the finest slices of pear with a subtle hint of cinnamon. This pie is simply amazing! I think pears can be perfectly replaced with apples or plums. Enjoy baking! Serve cooled or slightly warm.
