Pear and almond tart

I think I have made this before, but I think I did this a little differently, so here goes.
This is a Super quick and Super delicious dessert!


Ingredients: crust, almond paste, pears, cinnamon, almonds, and butter (not pictured).


Step one- line a tart pan with crust, then almond paste.
Now, to each her own on the crust, but to make my life easier today I used the store-bought kind.
After you line the pan with the crust, place a thin layer of almond paste on top. Feel free to use as much or as little as you want. Personally, I don;t like too much, so I just did a layer of thin pieces.


Now, peel and slice up some pears (I forgot to peel them, which is fine, but its better if they are peeled). Sprinkle them with cinnamon, then layer them into the pan, getting as many as you can in there, however you want.



Place them into the oven for about a half hour, until the crust is golden brown.
I actually put them in the oven for about 10 minutes, then decided to add more pears once the first layer cooked down a bit, so I popped another layer on top. Then I brushed them with a tiny bit of melted butter, sprinkled them with a little bit more cinnamon, sprinkled some crushed almonds on top, lightly covered it with foil, and let it continue cooking (the foil helped the pears stay moist and not dry out).



Once the tart is done, let it cool a bit, then its ready to enjoy!
I recommend pairing this with a little vanilla bean ice cream (which of course I didn't have, booo!)
Sooo delicious. Oh my gosh!





Enjoy! :)
