Pear, Almond, Frangipane Tartada image

Fancy dessert for special occasions. Even though this is a fancy dessert, it is fairly easy to make. It gets a lot of praise at parties. You can serve this with whipped cream or ice cream, warm or cold, but it is a little better at least slightly warm. Use your favorite preserves for the filling.

Time 54m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9 inch) refrigerated unbaked pie crust
½ cup almond paste, or more to taste
1 egg
1 dash salt
3 pears, thinly sliced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (3 ounce) package sliced almonds
2 tablespoons apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out pie crust onto a baking sheet.
  • Whisk almond paste, egg, and salt together in a bowl until blended. Spread over pie crust, leaving space on the perimeter to fold crust.
  • Mix pears and lemon juice in a bowl. Arrange in a decorative pattern on top of almond mixture. Fold outer edges of crust over pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden, 30 to 50 minutes.
  • Place almonds in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add preserves; cook and stir until saucy, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the tart.
