Critique
 
Allan - Similar to apple. Not too sweet....actually it could use more sugar. Nice.

Hannah - Almost like apple pie. Looks like apple, but when you eat it....tastes like pear. Just right, not too sweet.

Samuel - Tastes like a big pear! I don’t like pears.....another pass.

Josiah - Identical to the apple pie recipe (not quite...similar). Tastes good.

Nancy - Very mild. Cooked pears appear to be less sweet. Nothing too overwhelming.

Note : Hannah and her friend Carly did a lot of work on this pie. The smiley with the tongue sticking out was Hannah's handy work....Well done girls!!!
