TWD Fold Over Pear Torte



This weeks recipe for Tuesday with Dorie is Fold Over Pear Torte. This is an interesting name for a slightly different dessert, and I admit that mine turned out slightly different than it was intended. This recipe features pears baked in a custard filling with walnuts and raisins added in. The crust is to be fitted into a spring form pan and then folded over the filling. This is where I went wrong. I accidentally used the wrong size pan didn't have enough crust to fold over. Oh well, it still tasted great. There was just the right amount of custard to pear ratio for a yummy bite every time. Thanks to Cakelaw of Laws of the Kitchen for picking this great fall recipe.

Your torte turned out well. I don't think the lack of fold-over matters in the slightest. Thank you for baking along with me.
