Creamy Pear Pie

   Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

   Combine the white sugar and the smaller amount of flour in a large bowl. Add the pears and toss until coated, then stir in the sour cream and all three extracts until evenly blended. Transfer the mixture into the unbaked pie shell.

   In a separate small bowl, mix together the larger portion of flour with the brown sugar. Work in the melted butter with your fingertips until the mixture forms coarse crumbs, then scatter the topping uniformly over the pie.

   Place the pie in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 45 minutes, or until the pears are completely tender.
