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!

That looks delicious!!!
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.
it’s beautiful! i think i’m in love 🙂
this was a great surprise! yours looks wonderful, and i like those little pear chunks popping up!
wow that looks so good! i love the caramellization on top 🙂
Looks delicious! I haven’t been motivated with FFwD either…gotta find a way to get into it.
Your torte looks devine – and I agree that it would be equally as good with apples. Thanks for baking along this week.
Looks beautiful. Nice job.
