Fold Over Pear Torte
Cakelaw Laws of the Kitchen selected Fold-Over Pear Torte for us to bake this week. A creamy custard filling is packed with sweet, ripe pears, dried apricots, and a few nuts for crunch, then everything is folded into a flaky pie crust resulting in a really lovely autumn dessert.
The creamy custard filling reminded us of Mimi Jr.'s favorite dessert, Pear Pepper Pie, but the heat of the pepper was replace by tangy sweet apricots. Pears are another fall favorite at our house, for eating and baking, so we were excited to try a new pear recipe.

I was just thinking about how I have never baked anything with pears. Look what I've been missing out on!
I would like to try this someday. Looks good!
Beautiful, Mimi.
My daughter's favorite fruit is pears. I know she would enjoy this.

This is gorgeous, Mimi. I love the idea of a Pear Pepper Pie too, it sounds like a great balance of flavors!
Looks lovely.

Oooo... just when I am wondering what to do with a big bag of homegrown pears that I got from a friend I see your recipe!!! This is going right to the top of the list for weekend baking! Looks delicious!
I have been meaning to make a pear tart or cake for forever now.

Autumn desserts are my favorite! I love the look of your torte. I am on such a pear kick right now. I'd love to make this one!
This is lovely. I could go for a piece right now!
I can't remember the last time I had anything with pears. Guess I need to change that.
