    Pear Almond Tart

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    A melt in your mouth tart that is nutty, sweet and fruit filled. Pear Almond Tart has all the fall flavors packed into one dessert!  

    With only a few weeks away from your Thanksgiving feast, I am sharing an all time favorite tart or tartlet recipes that will be the perfect ending to your holiday.  Pears and almond are two flavors that I long for all year.  The key ingredient to this tart is Frangipane; almond cream, sugar, butter and eggs...you will want to use it in every dessert that you make, it's that good!

    The Perfect Pie Dough
    Making pie dough may sound daunting, but it is totally worth the effort.  My favorite pie dough is simple, buttery and can be made in advance and chilled until ready to use.  With only a few ingredients and made in a food processor, you will be proud that you made your own this year!

    Frangipane
    Frangipane, also known as Almond Cream, is one of my absolute flavors.  It is nutty, creamy, sweet and makes the most amazing filling for tarts and pies.  Frangipane is very versatile and can be combined with so many different flavors, but sliced pear is the ultimate flavor for your fall feast!
