Absolutely LOVE these! I have a second batch in the oven now. I made them with Apple instead of pear the first time and this time I have done a mixture of the two. I also substituted the sour cream for natural yoghurt. I added some lemon zest this Tome- cannot wait to have one! Thanks for a great recipe
