Today, we followed the same recipe to bake a loaf of pear cake that is moist inside with a crisp topping. The best part about this quick cinnamon pear bread is that it can be served for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or a cozy fall dessert. If you want to try something different from apples and pumpkins this Fall, then this dessert is for you.
