Pear cake with empanada dough

Sometimes the whims and turns of the day push us to situations that well directed surprise us and for the better. This is what happened the other day when I made an empanada dough for my aunt Aurita and I had half left over because I was short of filling, so I suddenly thought what to do with that half of the dough and I came up with this pear pie with empanada dough.
The success of this pear pie with empanada dough.
Of course you don't have to take that turn to get to this pear pie either, you can use the Whole wheat dough for rustic vegetable quiche or use the broken dough for fillings and of course you would also like for this cake the fruit galette dough. However, it has not turned out badly, on the contrary, it has been a blessed opportunity to enjoy my aunt Aurita's famous empanada dough in this pear pie with a crunchy base and giving all the prominence to the delicious pears that were just right just ripe and very sweet.
