To make this delicious tart, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Spiced Cookie Crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the Pear Filling:

- 4 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg yolk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the pear filling. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the pears are coated evenly.
Once the crust is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, pour the pear filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly. Bake the tart for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This dish is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
This Pear Tart with a Spiced Cookie Crust is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The crust is buttery and crumbly, while the pears are soft and juicy. The spices add a warm and comforting touch to the dish, making it perfect for fall or winter. This dish is a great way to impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.
