Delicious Almond Pear Tart Recipe for Any Occasion

In a mixing bowl, combine the **all-purpose flour**, **almond flour**, **powdered sugar**, and **salt**. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Next, cut the **cold unsalted butter** into small cubes and add them to the dry mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the **large egg** and gently mix until the dough begins to form. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least **one hour**.

In a bowl, beat the **softened unsalted butter** and **sugar** together until creamy and fluffy, which should take about **two minutes**. This helps to incorporate air into the mixture.

Next, add the **two eggs**, one at a time, continuing to beat the mixture for another **two minutes** until well combined.

Then, fold in the **almond flour**, **all-purpose flour**, and **baking powder** using a spatula until everything is well blended. Your frangipane filling is now ready!

Roll out the chilled **dough** on a floured surface to about **5 mm** (1/4 inch) thick. Gently transfer it to a tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it firmly against the edges.

Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust several times, which will prevent it from bubbling during baking. Then, spread a layer of **pear jam** evenly over the crust.

Pour the **frangipane filling** over the jam layer and smooth it out with a spatula. Cut the **pears** in half, remove the core, and place them cut-side up on top of the filling.

To finish off, sprinkle some almond flakes over the pears for extra crunch and flavor.

Preheat the oven to **170 degrees Celsius** (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the tart for about **40 minutes** until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Carefully remove it from the tart pan, dust with powdered sugar, and serve!

For an extra treat, consider serving your **Almond Pear Tart** with a scoop of ice cream.
