Time 45m

Yield 1 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons crisco all-vegetable shortening
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 medium pears (about 2 lb.)
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with removeable sides.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt and pulse briefly to mix.
  • Add the shortening and cut it into the flour mixture using quick on/off pulses until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg and the vanilla and process just until moist clumps form, pulsing the processor on and off.
  • Gather the dough into a ball and using your fingertips, press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the preapred tart pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Halve each pear lengthwise and scoop out the core with a melon baller or spoon. Peel and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. There should be about 5 cups.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet and stir in the brown sugar. When the sugar has dissolved and is bubbly, add the pears to the skillet sprinkling them with lemon juice and let the pears cook in the sugar syrup, stirring gently so as not to break up the slices. The pears will, at first, release quite a bit of juice - allow this to simmer until the liquid reduces to a thick syrup and the pears have begun to caramelize. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425°F Gently spoon the pears into the prepared tart shell, spreading them out evenly. Sprnikle with the sliced almonds. Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350F and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, until the almonds are toasted and pear filling is bubbly.
  • Let cool before removing the sides of the tart pan to serve.

This tart is the worst thing I've ever eaten. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and my tart turned out terrible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tart was a bit of a disappointment. The pears were not as flavorful as I had hoped and the crust was too tough.

The crust on this tart was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would use a different recipe for the crust next time.

This tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but this tart was delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the pears were perfectly caramelized. I would definitely make this again.

This was a great recipe! It was easy to follow and the tart turned out beautiful. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of pear. I used Anjou pears and they were a little too soft for my taste.

I've made this tart a few times now and it's always a hit. The pears are so juicy and flavorful, and the crust is the perfect balance of flaky and crispy.
