If you're looking for a dessert that's both delicious and visually stunning, look no further than the Pear Frangipane Tart. This classic French dessert is a perfect blend of sweet and nutty flavors, with a buttery crust and a creamy almond filling that's topped with juicy pears.
To make this delicious tart, you'll need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

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

For the frangipane filling:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

- 2-3 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and butter, and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, and mix until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the frangipane filling. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until well combined. Add the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Once the crust is done baking, spread the frangipane filling evenly over the bottom. Arrange the sliced pears on top of the filling, and sprinkle with lemon juice and sugar. Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pears are golden brown.
Once the tart is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. The Pear Frangipane Tart is a perfect dessert for any occasion, with its buttery crust, creamy filling, and juicy pears. It's a dessert that's sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
