Method

1
Peel the pears and core them. Dice the pears and squeeze some lemon juice over them. Season with cinnamon.
2
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Add the liquid margarine and mix into a uniform, crumbly mixture. Transfer ¼ of the crumb mixture to another bowl.
3
Add the buttermilk and egg to the remaining crumb mixture, and fold until combined. Spread the batter onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper (about 34 cm x 38 cm).
4
Mix the sour cream, quark, eggs, and sugars together. Spread the mixture over the crust. Add the diced pears and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
5
Bake the pie in a 175 °C oven for 45–50 minutes.
