Pear Pie

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
3 pears - peeled, cored and sliced
1 c white sugar
1/4 c butter
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 t vanilla extract
1 t almond extract
1 t cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Press the pie pastry into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.  Flute the edges.  Place pear slices into crust.
3. In a medium bowl, mix the butter and the sugar together until smooth, then beat in the eggs one at a time until light and fluffy.  Stir in flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract.  Pour over the top of the pears.
4. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until pears are soft and custard is set in the center.  Cool completely before slicing and serving.

We made this today, and it was REALLY GOOD.
