Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces cream cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons pear brandy
1 Bosc or Red Bartlett pear
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Combine cream cheese and butter in a food processor. Add flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt, and process until combined. Dough will be sticky. Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet. With lightly floured fingers, pat dough out into a flat 8-inch circle.
  • In medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar with lemon juice and brandy. Halve pear lengthwise; core; leave skin on. Cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; transfer to lemon-juice mixture; coat well. Place slices in strainer to drain liquid. Arrange lengthwise around border of dough, overlapping slightly. Arrange remaining slices in center. Sprinkle tart with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Dust pears with cinnamon. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm curious about the texture of the tart. Is it more soft or crispy?

Sadly, this one was a miss for me. The crust was a bit too soggy and the filling lacked flavor.

Easy to follow recipe and the end result was divine! Loved that the sweetness of the pears was balanced out by the tartness of the cranberries. Great combination of flavors and textures.

This tart was absolutely delicious! The pears were perfectly cooked and the almond cream filling was rich and flavorful. The crust was nice and flaky, and the whole thing came together beautifully. Will definitely be making this again!
