Yield Makes one 4-by-13-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup whole blanched almonds (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
Almond Tart Shell
1 ripe but firm red Bartlett or Comice pear, cored and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Vanilla-Bean Creme Anglaise for Pear Tart

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until light golden and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then finely grind in a food processor. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add almonds, egg, cream, and extract; beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • Using a small offset spatula, spread filling in cooled tart shell. Arrange pear slices, overlapping them slightly, on top of filling. Generously sprinkle with sugar; place tart on a baking sheet. Bake until filling is slightly puffed and golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature with creme anglaise on the side.

This tart is a bit more work than I expected, but it's definitely worth it. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is smooth and creamy. The pears are perfectly cooked and add a touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this tart again

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tart didn't turn out as good as I expected. The crust was a bit dry, and the filling was too runny. I'm going to try making it again, but I'll follow the recipe more carefully this time.

This tart was a disaster. The crust was tough and chewy, and the filling was grainy. The pears were also mushy. I don't know what went wrong, but I will never be making this tart again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tart didn't turn out as good as I expected. The crust was a bit dry, and the filling was too runny. The pears were also a bit undercooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
