Fold-Over Pear Torte


I'm always so surprised with myself when I make a Dorie recipe before the posting day.  This is one of those months where I feel like I'm in the Dorie groove (the Tuesday groove, anyways. I have been majorly slacking on FFwD.  I'm just not used to it yet!).  

This torte was surprisingly delicious.  I love the ease of the fold-over crust.  This would be really great with apples, too- either way, it's perfect for fall.  I think it's unique- something a little special, rather than your average apple pie.  Make sure your pears aren't too firm, though- mine were too firm from the start and I would have liked them a little softer in the torte.


Nice choice!

  1. Yours looks so pretty.

    I haven't gotten into the FFwD either.

    It is difficult I think because I live so far out that some of the ingredients are unavailable to me.

  5. Your torte looks devine - and I agree that it would be equally as good with apples. Thanks for baking along this week.
