Instructions
Crust:
-
Add the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold butter cubes and begin pulsing, 10 to 15 times, until the butter is fully incorporated into the flour.
-
Add the egg to the food processor and pulse just until a dough begins to form. Place the dough onto a work surface and knead it lightly, just to bring it together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
Filling:
-
Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt to a medium bowl. Combine the mixture with an electric hand mixer, gradually increasing the speed from low to medium-high.
-
Beat until fluffy, then add each egg, 1 at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl between each addition. Lastly, add the almond flour and all-purpose flour and combine on low speed until homogenous.
-
Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Assemble:
-
Remove the tart crust from the fridge and gently roll out to roughly a 12-inch round on a floured work surface. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan, then top with the filling, spreading it as evenly as possible.
-
Arrange the pears in a spiral pattern on top of the filling. Brush the entire surface with the melted butter, then sprinkle the granulated sugar over the pears.
-
Bake, rotating halfway through, for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the center of the tart is no longer jiggly. Let cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy!
