Ingredients

Servings

Frangipane:

  • 2/3 cup almond finely ground
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon flour or 1 T rice flour or 1/2 T cornstarch for gluten free
  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons cream

Other Ingredients

  • 3 pear
  • 1 pie crust commercial or your favorite homemade
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar for decoration

Instructions

  1. Set pie crust into a 9 inch removable bottom fluted tart pan. Press the crust into the pan sides, top with parchment paper, then fill with dried beans or pie weights. Blind bake at 400 F, until sides are turning golden, about 10 minutes, then remove weights and parchment and bake a little longer until bottom is set and dry. Remove pie from oven and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F.
  2. Place the frangipane ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Spread the frangipane over the cooled tart shell.
  3. Halve, peel, core and slice the pears into about ¼ inch slices (see picture). Arrange the sliced pears on top of frangipane fanning slightly, then bake 40 to 45 minutes. Cool before serving.
