I'm not a huge fan of pears, but I actually really enjoyed this tart. The almond filling was delicious and the crust was perfect.

Overall, I thought this tart was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The tart crust was a bit difficult to work with. It was very crumbly and I had a hard time getting it into the tart pan.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

The only thing I would change about the recipe is to use a different type of pear. I used Bartlett pears, but I think a firmer pear, like a Bosc pear, would hold up better in the tart.

This pear almond tart was an absolute delight! The combination of sweet pears, crunchy almonds, and creamy almond filling was divine. The tart crust was flaky and buttery, providing the perfect base for the luscious filling.
