Pear & Frangipane Tart

Fall is coming, and in addition to that there are an abundance of fall fruits as well, this includes apples, pomegranates, and of course, pears. One can never have too many recipes to use these lovely fall fruits. Today I have for you just the thing, a pear and frangipane tart recipe. My crust was made with Amaretti cookies. Amaretti cookies are crunchy almond flavored meringue cookies, however, you could easily use graham cracker, Ritz crackers, Nilla waffers, cereal, or pretzels and it would be equally amazing.

How does it taste?

This tart has a delicious sweetness of pears, and a chewy bite from the frangipane. I used vanilla extract in my frangipane, because my husband is not a fan of almond flavor. However, I love almond flavor, and this would be my extract of choice if I made this again. When I got into this tart, it literally lasted 10 minutes before it was gone. It’s so delicious and between you and me you could eat it for dessert or breakfast. It’s not so hard to put together, I recommend you give it a try this today and use up all those fall fruits. The Frangipane is literally an almond cream or custard, it is nutty and chewy and utterly delicious. The sweeter the pears you use the sweeter the tart. I got my recipe for frangipane :almond cream from spruce eats and I doubled the recipe for a 10 inch tart.

Tips

The crust and the pears are all that is all that’s left. Even though there are about 3 steps to this tart it does come together pretty quickly. All you need is your food processor and a tart pan. It takes about 50 minutes in the oven, but believe me it is worth it. Try it today, to use up your apples, pears, peaches, or cherries. You will love it!
