Cooking Time
25 minutes
Yields
12 servings
Ingredients
Crust Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups almond meal (I make my own by pulsing raw almonds in the food processor.)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
1 Tbsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ tbsp melted coconut oil
Filling Ingredients:
3 medium pears, cored and sliced
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp arrowroot starch
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp chopped pecan
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12" by 8" pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine all dry crust ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir with a whisk.
3. Separately beat egg, add in vanilla extract, honey, and coconut oil.
4. Add to dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the dough is crumbly.
5. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of lined pan lined with parchment paper. For a nice uniform crust, use the backside of a smaller pan to push the crust down to about 1/4" thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool.
6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and arrowroot starch for the pie filling. Add pears and mix to coat evenly. (Alternatively, reserve arrowroot mixture and pour over pears after they are arranged in the tart crust.)
7. Fill the tart crust with pear filling in overlapping layers (see photo above.) Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped pecans.
8. Bake for another 15 minutes or until pears are soft.
