Ingredients

Tart Crust

1 1/2 cups flour sifted
1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
2-3 tablespoons ice water

Almond Cream

1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup butter softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pear Topping

3 medium ripe pears peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2 In a bowl, combine sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
3 Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press into the pan, trimming excess dough. Prick the base with a fork and freeze for 10 minutes.
4 To make the almond cream, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, beating well, then mix in almond flour and vanilla extract.
5 Spread the almond cream evenly over the chilled tart crust.
6 Toss the sliced pears with lemon juice and ground nutmeg. Arrange the pears decoratively over the almond cream.
7 Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the almond cream is set.
8 Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
