THIN PEAR TART
Here's a great weeknight dessert option-no rolling pin required. The cream cheese dough comes together quite easily, and is simply patted into a thin round. A single pear is thinly sliced, then tossed in a bowl with pear brandy, sugar, and lemon juice. The mixture is then fanned out over the dough before baking. Whipped cream makes a nice accompaniment, as does a snifter of pear brandy, naturally.

- Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine cream cheese and butter in a food processor. Add the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and the salt, and process until combined. (Dough will be sticky.) On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, with lightly floured fingers, pat dough into an even 8-inch round.

Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; transfer to lemon-juice mixture; coat well. Drain slices in strainer. Arrange around outer edge of dough, overlapping slightly, then arrange remaining slices in center. Sprinkle tart with remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Dust pears with the cinnamon.
