Time 1h5m

Yield 1 tart, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large ripe but firm pear, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, plus
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, divided, plus additional
all-purpose flour, for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
2 tablespoons walnut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Toss pear slices, 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle oil over the mixture and stir with a fork until evenly combined. Add 1 tablespoon water and stir until the dough just stays together when pressed with a fork; add up to 1 additional tablespoon of water if the dough seems too dry.
  • Line a work surface with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, generously dust with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Form the dough into a small patty, dust the top with flour and roll into a rustic 10-inch circle, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Transfer the crust to a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat in place.
  • Lay the pear slices in decorative, overlapping circles on top of the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Spoon any remaining pear juice over the slices. Pick up the edges of the crust using a spatula and fold over the pears. The crust will not meet in the center.
  • Bake the tart until lightly browned and bubbling, about 40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
