How to Make Pear Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare your tart crust (use your favorite recipe or store-bought). Blind bake the crust for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Peel, core, and thinly slice 4-5 ripe but firm pears.
  4. In a bowl, gently toss the pear slices with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  5. Arrange the pear slices beautifully over the pre-baked tart crust.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of Calvados (apple brandy) or 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 3 teaspoons brown sugar, and a dash of nutmeg. (If using the alcohol-free option, increase the brown sugar to 4 teaspoons)
  7. Pour the liquid evenly over the pears.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
  9. Let the tart cool slightly on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
