Almond-Pear Tart image

Instead of using pastry dough as the base of this tart, we stacked sheets of phyllo to create a crisp crust that is still sturdy enough to support a nut-and-fruit topping. For a different flavor profile, use skinned toasted hazelnuts in place of almonds, and apples instead of pears.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup sliced blanched almonds
1/4 cup sugar plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 firm-ripe Bartlett pears, cut into 1/8-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, pulse almonds, sugar, flour, and salt until finely ground. Add egg, vanilla, and nutmeg and process until combined.
  • Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, lightly brush with butter, and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon sugar. (Keep extra phyllo covered while you work.) Stack remaining 5 sheets phyllo on top, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with sugar (omit sugar on last layer). Trim stack into an 11-by-15-inch rectangle. Spread almond mixture evenly on stack, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange pears on top, overlapping slightly.
  • Bake until edges are golden and fruit is tender, about 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let tart cool slightly on sheet on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The crust was a bit dry and crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend using a different crust recipe next time.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

This almond pear tart was a delight! The combination of the sweet pears and the nutty almond filling was perfect. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the tart was just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
