Yield Makes one 8-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 to 5 pears, such as Anjou or Bartlett, peeled
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Pear Tarte Tartin

Steps:

  • Halve and core pears. Set aside one pear half. Quarter remaining pears and transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze lemon over pears and set aside.
  • Combine sugar and 3 tablespoons water in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture begins to thicken and turn amber. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
  • Place reserved pear half in center of skillet along with any reserved juices. Decoratively arrange remaining pears, cut side up, in an even layer. If fruit does not completely fill pan, tart will collapse when inverted.
  • Place skillet over low heat and cook until syrup thickens and is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Do not let syrup burn. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roll out pate brisee to a 10-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick; transfer to a baking sheet and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Place pâte brisée over pears and tuck in edges. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes. Loosen pastry from skillet using a sharp knife. Place a rimmed platter over skillet; quickly and carefully invert. Serve immediately.

This was a great recipe. The tarte tatin was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The pears were perfectly caramelized and the crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

The pears in this tarte tatin were a bit undercooked for my taste. I think I would have baked it for a few minutes longer. Other than that, it was a delicious tart with a flaky crust and a rich caramel sauce.

This tarte tatin was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the caramel. Otherwise, it was a well-made tart with a flaky crust and tender pears.

I love the unique flavor combination of pears and almonds in this tarte tatin. It's a bit different from the classic apple tarte tatin, but it's just as delicious. The pears are soft and tender, and the almonds add a nice crunch. I highly recommend t

I've made this tarte tatin several times now and it's always a hit. The pears are so soft and caramelized, and the crust is perfectly flaky. I love that it's a relatively easy recipe to make, yet it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy bakery.
