Are Pears generally used in apple pie?

While you could technically use pears in an apple pie, it's not a traditional combination. Apple pie is primarily made with apples, and the flavors of the two fruits don't typically complement each other well.

However, if you are looking to add some variety to your apple pie, you could consider adding a small amount of pear to the filling. But, it's best to use a pear variety that is known for its tartness, such as a Bosc pear, to help balance the sweetness of the apples.
