To make this Pear Almond Frangipane Tart, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon ice water

For the frangipane filling:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the pear topping:

- 2 ripe pears, peeled and thinly sliced

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and chilled butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the egg yolk and ice water and mix until the dough comes together.

Next, make the frangipane filling. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract. Pour the frangipane filling into the prepared tart crust.
Arrange the thinly sliced pears on top of the frangipane filling. Brush the melted butter over the pears and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake the Pear Almond Frangipane Tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Pear Almond Frangipane Tart is a perfect combination of sweet and nutty flavors. The crust is buttery and flaky, while the frangipane filling is rich and creamy.
