Ingredients

  • 0.5 teaspoon almond extract 
  •  anjou pear 
  • 0.3 cup apricot preserves 
  • large eggs 
  • 0.3 cup flour all-purpose
  • cup hazelnuts cooled toasted
  • 10 servings pie crust dough 
  • 0.5 cup sugar 
  • tablespoons butter unsalted cold softened
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • hand mixer

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Pulse hazelnuts with 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor until finely ground, then add flour and pulse to combine.
  3. Beat together butter and remaining 1/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in extracts. Reduce speed to low and mix in nut mixture until just combined.
  5. Spread frangipane filling evenly in tart shell. Peel, halve, and core pears, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, holding slices together to keep pear shape intact. Arrange pears decoratively on filling, fanning slices slightly.
  6. Bake until pears are golden and frangipane is puffed and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  7. Brush pears (not filling) with preserves and cool tart completely in pan on rack, then remove side of pan.
