Looking for the perfect dessert? Try our fresh pear pie.

My dad loves fresh pear pie. He likes to eat it warm with ice cream, or cold with whipped cream. He especially likes the ones from the grocery store, but he’ll also try a pie from a restaurant if the occasion calls for it.

He’s never been a big fan of pies that are pre-made or from a box. He insists on making his own, which is something I’ve learned to appreciate. In fact, I love going to his house and seeing the pies cooling on the counter, waiting for me to take them home and enjoy them.

I love the smell of fresh pie in the oven, and I can’t resist raiding the fridge to see what else he has made. I always end up with a fresh piece of pie and a sweet smile on my face. Thanks, Dad!
