I made it gluten free by replacing the wheat flour in the crust with white rice flour. I also subbed yogurt for the sour cream because that's what I had on hand, and added 1/2 tsp salt and 1T sugar. For the custard, I added 1T cornstarch instead of the flour to thicken, used 1/4 cup maple syrup, whole eggs, and subbed yogurt again for the sour cream. For the glaze, I used peach preserves warmed and thinned with 1T rum. The crust was like a biscuit bottom pie. I baked it in a tart dish. Company loved it. I would make this again.

This is a fantastic recipe. A few tips: I agree with a couple of the posters below. Use half apple and half pear. Also 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of cardamom. Finally, you will have a better result if you roll the dough. You'll need flour and patience, but it's still easier than trying to press the dough evenly around the bottom and sides of the pan. Thanks for reader suggestions...always a help...and thanks Paula for another great recipe!

This tart needs flavor. Try adding 1/2 tsp cardamom and 1/2 tsp China cinnamon with the sour cream/sugar portion. The second time I made it I also added 1 tsp vanilla and one ripe bartlet pear. That made it perfect for us!

Loved this tart. I used Honey Crisp apples, thick slices which retained a little crunch even after an hour in the oven. I added a touch of ground cardamom, ginger and cinnamon to the custard.
The crust was a little dry, though still rich and held together enough to serve nice wedges. I decided I would add a touch of salt to the crust next time, but for now sprinkled a few crystals of red sea salt on the finished tart. That was amazing, I was missing some little hint of acid (lemon but the small intense hit of salt obviates the need for lemon. One tart easily serves 8.

My fiance thought it was a little too tart, so the next time I made it, I used equal parts pears & apples. It was fantastic! Also, to save time, use store bought pastry dough. I added cinnamon to the apples & pears to add a little something extra. DELICIOUS!

I wanted to make this recipe this weekend (november 4th for Thanksgiving. how can I store it until then? Does anyone know if it is ok to freeze this until Thanksgiving? I'm also making a regular apple pie? Can I freeze that as well?

Thank You

I wanted an apple dessert but not apple pie(Too much work. This was way easier and more interesting with the custard. The crust was so easy and came out perfect. I followed the recipe except that I only added 2 yolks instead of 3 because I was afraid it would be to eggy. Came out great.
If you feel like an apple pie but can't be bothered this is so quick and easy .

I was bored Christmas day and went out to the local QT and found some Granny Smiths and made the tart. Very Easy and delicious!

This was the first recipe to come up on my internet search so it won.
I liked that the number of ingredients were few. Before I searched for a recipe I had already purchased a Jiffy pie crust mix (I have no luck with pie crust. I used the Jiffy but replaced the water with sour cream. I had to cook it longer than the recipe said. I think next time I will slice the fruit thinner. I didn't have orange juice so I used triple sec to thin the apricot jam..boy I don't regret that decision at all. Yummy.
