RUSTIC PEAR TART

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings, serving size 1 wedge

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup whole-grain pastry flour or regular whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons lowfat buttermilk
3 tablespoons ice water
3 medium pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon boiling water

Steps:

  • To prepare the crust, in a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, all- purpose flour, granulated sugar and salt. Add the butter and using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a pebbly, course texture. In a small bowl combine the buttermilk and ice water. Using a fork, gradually mix the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Pat the dough into a 4-inch round and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and prepare the filling. Peel the pears, core them and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a large bowl toss the pear slices with the lemon juice. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, brown sugar and cinnamon and toss until the pears are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a large circle about nine inches in diameter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and draping the dough over the rolling pin, transfer to the prepared baking sheet. If the dough breaks at all patch it up with your fingers.
  • Arrange the pears in a mound in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch boarder. Fold the border over the filling. It will only cover the pears partially and does not need to be even.
  • Bake the tart for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, keeping the tart in the oven all the while, and bake for another 40 minutes, until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  • In a small bowl stir together the honey and boiling water to make a glaze. When the tart is done remove it from the oven and brush the honey glaze all over the top of the fruit and crust. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or a room temperature.

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts     Fruit Tart Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 shortcrust pastry crust
6 ½ ounces 70% dark chocolate, chopped
1 ½ cups ground almonds
2 eggs
½ cup superfine sugar
6 ½ tablespoons butter, softened

  • Heat a saucepan about 1/3-full of water to a low simmer, about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to lowest setting. Place a heat-proof bowl over the pan in such a way that it does not touch the water. Add chocolate to the bowl and allow to melt. Limit stirring to an absolute minimum to prevent chocolate from separating.
  • Mix ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add warm melted chocolate and stir to combine. Pour chocolate mixture into the baked pastry crust.
  • Arrange pears on top of the tart by pressing them into the chocolate mixture.
  • Bake in the hot oven until pastry is golden and mixture is firm, 35 to 45 minutes.

RUSTIC PEAR TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Rustic Pear Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all purpose flour, powdered sugar, salt, butter, egg, butter, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, almond flour, all-purpose flour, pears, butter, granulated sugar

Provided by Tasty

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
1 ¾ sticks butter, cubed and chilled
1 egg
¾ cup butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 ¼ cups almond flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 pears, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Add the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold butter cubes and begin pulsing, 10-15 times, until the butter is fully incorporated into the flour.
  • Add the egg to the food processor and pulse just until a dough begins to form. Place the dough onto a work surface and knead it lightly, just to bring it together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt to a medium bowl. Combine the mixture with an electric hand mixer, gradually increasing the speed from low to medium-high. Beat until fluffy, then add each egg, 1 at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl between each addition. Lastly, add the almond flour and all-purpose flour and combine on low speed until homogenous.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Assemble the tart: Remove the tart crust from fridge and gently roll out to roughly a 12-inch round on a floured work surface. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan, then top with the filling, spreading it as evenly as possible.
  • Arrange the pears in a spiral pattern on top of the filling. Brush the entire surface with the melted butter, then sprinkle the granulated sugar over the pears.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the center of the tart is no longer jiggly. Let cool completely before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

  • Be careful not to overbake the tart, or the crust will become dry and crumbly.
