I remember my mom making this pie when I was growing up. I make several while I have fresh pears from the family tree, then freeze them for later. One taste tester declared it "the best pear pie I have ever eaten." -Paula Hoffman, Plainview, Nebraska

This pie is the perfect way to use up leftover pears. I had a bunch of pears that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this pie. It turned out great! The pears were perfectly cooked and the coconut streusel topping was delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I loved this pie. The coconut flavor was subtle and didn't overwhelm the other flavors. The streusel topping was also delicious and added a nice crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of pear pie, but this coconut streusel version changed my mind. The coconut and streusel topping added a delicious twist that made the pie irresistible. The pears were also perfectly cooked and still had a bit of a bite to them.
