How to Make Bavarian Pear Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. **Crust:** In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, mixing until just combined.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. **Filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Gently fold in 1/2 cup sour cream.
  8. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  9. **Topping:** Peel, core, and slice 4 ripe but firm pears into eighths. Arrange pear slices in a decorative pattern over the filling.
  10. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon evenly over the pears.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
