I had some trouble getting the crust to come out of the pan, but other than that this tart was perfect.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good.

I loved the combination of pears and pecans in this tart. The crust was also very good.

This tart was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The only change I made was to use a store-bought pie crust. I will definitely be making this again!

This pear pecan tart was absolutely delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was sweet and gooey. The pears and pecans were a perfect combination, and the tart was not too sweet. I will definitely be making this again!
