Pear pie with walnuts
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. The combination of pears and walnuts turned out to be extraordinarily harmonious, so I do not recommend changing anything in the recipe. Of course, it’s best to use pears that are moderately ripe, so there isn’t too much juice or loose pulp. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
