The tart turned out amazing! The crust was golden brown and the pears were soft and juicy. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and it was the perfect dessert.

This rustic tart was a hit with my family! The pears were perfectly caramelized and the cinnamon filling was warm and inviting. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the overall presentation was beautiful.
