Ingredients:

For the almond crust:

- 1 and 1/2 cups of almond flour

- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted


For the honeyed pear filling:

- 4 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

- 1/4 cup of honey

- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg


For the glaze:

- 2 tablespoons of honey

- 1 tablespoon of warm water


Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom and set aside.


2. In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the almond crust evenly onto the bottom and sides of the tart pan, creating a crust.


3. Arrange the thinly sliced pears in a single layer over the almond crust, slightly overlapping them. Drizzle the honey and lemon juice over the pears, then sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg evenly on top.


4. Place the tart pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.


5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and warm water to create the glaze. Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and brush the glaze over the pears for a glossy finish.


6. Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing it from the tart pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the wonderful combination of flavors and textures.


This Honeyed Pear Tart with Almond Crust is a dessert that will impress your guests with its delicate balance of sweetness and nuttiness.
