Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 disk Pate Brisee for Woven Dried-Fruit Tart
1 cup blanched almonds
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut up
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 cup apricot jam
8 large canned pear halves, well drained, patted dry, and thinly sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12-inch round. Fit dough into a 9-inch removable bottom tart pan lifting into and pressing up sides. Refrigerate while you prepare almond cream (frangipane).
  • In a food processor, pulse almonds and sugar until finely ground. Add butter, egg, flour, salt, and extract and process until well combined.
  • Spread 1/4 cup jam over bottom of tart shell. Spread almond filling over; chill 15 minutes. Arrange pear slices on top, fanning them out. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and almond cream is puffed and set. Transfer to a wire rack and cool in the pan. Remove from pan. Melt remaining jam and brush over tart. Cool before serving.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes sweeter desserts.

The tart was delicious, but it took a lot longer to make than I expected. I would recommend setting aside plenty of time if you're planning on making this recipe.

This tart was a bit too complicated for my liking. I would recommend a simpler recipe for beginner bakers.

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

The pear tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that it was a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This pear tart was an absolute delight! The flaky crust and sweet, caramelized pears were a perfect combination. I especially loved the addition of almond extract, which gave the tart a lovely nutty flavor.
