Steps:
- To prepare the crust, in a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, all- purpose flour, granulated sugar and salt. Add the butter and using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a pebbly, course texture. In a small bowl combine the buttermilk and ice water. Using a fork, gradually mix the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Pat the dough into a 4-inch round and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and prepare the filling. Peel the pears, core them and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a large bowl toss the pear slices with the lemon juice. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, brown sugar and cinnamon and toss until the pears are evenly coated. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a large circle about nine inches in diameter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and draping the dough over the rolling pin, transfer to the prepared baking sheet. If the dough breaks at all patch it up with your fingers.
- Arrange the pears in a mound in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch boarder. Fold the border over the filling. It will only cover the pears partially and does not need to be even.
- Bake the tart for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, keeping the tart in the oven all the while, and bake for another 40 minutes, until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- In a small bowl stir together the honey and boiling water to make a glaze. When the tart is done remove it from the oven and brush the honey glaze all over the top of the fruit and crust. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or a room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Toss pear slices, 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle oil over the mixture and stir with a fork until evenly combined. Add 1 tablespoon water and stir until the dough just stays together when pressed with a fork; add up to 1 additional tablespoon of water if the dough seems too dry.
- Line a work surface with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, generously dust with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Form the dough into a small patty, dust the top with flour and roll into a rustic 10-inch circle, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Transfer the crust to a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat in place.
- Lay the pear slices in decorative, overlapping circles on top of the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Spoon any remaining pear juice over the slices. Pick up the edges of the crust using a spatula and fold over the pears. The crust will not meet in the center.
- Bake the tart until lightly browned and bubbling, about 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

BOURBON-PEAR RUSTIC TART
If you're intimidated by baking a pie, then this is the recipe for you. We love anything with the word "rustic" in it because "rustic" is basically a kitschy way of saying "messy." The crust is crazy-simple, and the bourbon-soaked pears add a smoky, oaky element to this "rustic" tart. Bring this to a Fall gathering and don't tell anyone how rustically easy this recipe was.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- For the bourbon pears: Mix the bourbon and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and add the pear slices, tossing gently to coat. Set aside to soak for about 20 minutes while you prepare the topping and crust.
- For the topping: Combine the brown sugar, butter and flour into small lumps and set aside.
- For the crust: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a 14-inch square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet (it's ok if the dough hangs over the edges).
- Drain the pears (save the bourbon mixture for a cocktail!) and toss with the granulated sugar. Arrange the pear slices overlapping in rows on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the whole tart. Fold and pleat the edges of the dough over, so it just overlaps the pears. Brush the puff pastry with the melted butter and sprinkle the topping over the pears.
- Bake until the pastry is a golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. We're drooling while writing this so you must be too!

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the bottom blade, add the whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, and the salt and pulse 3 to 4 times to combine. Add in the diced cold butter, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon ginger, and pulse at 3 to 4 second intervals for 6 to 10 times until the mixture resembles sand. Add in the butter milk and pulse until a dough ball forms. Remove from the food processor onto a lightly floured board. Roll the dough into an oval, approximately 16 by 14 inches. Rough edges are okay, but you can trim decoratively if desired. Transfer to a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons flour, sugar, and the remaining spices and mix well. Toss this flour mixture with the pears, gently coating. Pile the pear mix in the center of the tart dough, leaving a 3 to 4-inch border, and then fold the edges up and around the pears, leaving an opening in the center. Crimp any breaks in the dough. Place the baking sheet with tart into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove, allow to cool. Serve at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Add the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold butter cubes and begin pulsing, 10-15 times, until the butter is fully incorporated into the flour.
- Add the egg to the food processor and pulse just until a dough begins to form. Place the dough onto a work surface and knead it lightly, just to bring it together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt to a medium bowl. Combine the mixture with an electric hand mixer, gradually increasing the speed from low to medium-high. Beat until fluffy, then add each egg, 1 at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl between each addition. Lastly, add the almond flour and all-purpose flour and combine on low speed until homogenous.
- Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Assemble the tart: Remove the tart crust from fridge and gently roll out to roughly a 12-inch round on a floured work surface. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan, then top with the filling, spreading it as evenly as possible.
- Arrange the pears in a spiral pattern on top of the filling. Brush the entire surface with the melted butter, then sprinkle the granulated sugar over the pears.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the center of the tart is no longer jiggly. Let cool completely before slicing.
- Enjoy!
