Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sweet tart crust
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (plus more for serving)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeded
  • 2 tbsp dark rum, divided
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 3 firm pears (Bartlett works best)
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted½

Instructions
 

Make Frangipane (Almond Cream filling)

  • Cream the softened butter in a large bowl, and add powdered sugar until the mixture is well combined, and resembles a coarse meal
  • Add almond flour, all-purpose flour, salt and mix well.
  • Add eggs one at a time, and mix well after each addition.
  • Add vanilla bean (scraped), almond extract and 1 tbsp of the dark rum
  • Mix well until cream is smooth. (You can keep this refrigerated for up to 5 days)

Assemble

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Melt apricot jam with 1 tbsp dark rum, and mix until liquefied.
  • Apply jam to base of cooled pastry shell to prevent soggy bottom.
  • Fill tart crust with almond cream, smoothing out to the edges, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Peel pears, cut each lengthwise, scoop out cores, and cut each half crosswise into ⅛ inch slices. Keep the slices together so you can make a "fan". Squeeze a little lemon juice on top of the pear fans to prevent browning.
  • Remove tart crust from refrigerator. Gently take each pear half and "fan" it out on the tart crust, making sure to fan out toward the stem/top side. Slide your knufe under the pear half and fan it out over the almond filling, arranging it so the pear fans out to the center.
  • Bake tart at 375°F until golden brown or filling comes out clean. About 50 minutes.
  • Let the tart cool on a wire rack.
  • Brush pears with the leftover apricot/rum mixture. Once tart is cool, unmold the tart.
  • Sprinkle some of the toasted almonds over the tart, with a little powdered sugar, and ENJOY!
