Steps:
- For pears:
- Bring 4 cups water, sugar, and lemon juice to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add pears. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until pears are very tender, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Cool pears in syrup. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- For crust:
- Blend powdered sugar, almonds, and salt in processor until nuts are finely ground. Add butter and blend until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Mix in egg yolk. Add flour. Using on/off turns, blend until dough comes together in clumps. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 3 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- For almond filling:
- Finely grind almonds and flour in processor. Mix in 7 tablespoons sugar, then butter, blending until smooth. Mix in egg. Transfer filling to medium bowl. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Roll out chilled dough on floured sheet of parchment paper to 12-inch round, lifting and turning dough occasionally to free from paper. Using paper as aid, turn dough into 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom; peel off paper. Seal any cracks in dough. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in, making double-thick sides. Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze crust 10 minutes.
- Line crust with buttered foil, buttered side down, then fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crust until sides are set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until sides are golden and bottom is set, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 10 minutes longer. Cool crust in pan on rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
- Spread almond filling evenly in crust. Stem pears and cut each in half lengthwise; scoop out cores. Cut each half crosswise into thin slices. Gently press each pear half to fan slices but keep slices tightly overlapped. Slide spatula under pears and arrange atop filling like spokes of wheel with narrow ends in center.
- Bake tart until golden and tester inserted into center of filling comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool tart in pan on rack. Push pan bottom up, releasing tart from pan. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Cut tart into wedges; sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 9 inch baking dish or tart pan.
- In a food processor, combine the almonds and 1/2 sugar and process until finely ground.
- Be careful not to process too long or it will turn into almond butter!
- Transfer the ground almonds to a medium bowl and stir in the flour and salt until blended.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
- Whisk in the milk and melted butter until well blended.
- Add the egg mixture to the almonds and stir to blend well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread to form an even layer.
- Peel, quarter and core the pears.
- cut each pear quarter into crossways slices, keeping the slices assembled as you go.
- Slide one of the sliced pear quarters onto a metal spatula or spreader and set it on top of the batter.
- Repeat with the remaining sliced pear quarters forming the spokes of a wheel.
- Press the surface of the fanned pears down into the batter so that only the surface of the pears is showing.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the pears and scatter the cut up butter bits over the top.
- Bake the tart in the upper third of the oven until the batter is puffed and golden brown, 40-45 minutes.
- Let the tart cool on a rack.
- You could substitute mangoes, peaches, or apples for the pears, and have the same delicious results.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, sweet pears. Bosc pears are a good choice because they hold their shape well when baked.
- To make sure the almond filling is smooth, be sure to grind the almonds very finely.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the edges of the filo dough so that it fits the pan.

- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
