Brown Sugar Pear Tart
Pears have been on sale at our local grocery store. I wanted to make something new and different for a dessert. Looking in my Betty Crocker's Cookbook, I found a fun new recipe.
Yummy...yes, it is very yummy.
Prepare and bake Pecan Crust.
Pecan Crust
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2/3 cup butter
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients except butter. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press firmly and evenly against bottom and side of greased 8x8x2 inch pan.
Bake for 8 minutes, cool.
Pear Tart
3 or 4 medium pears
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all - purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cut each pear lengthwise in half and remove core.
Place each pear half, cut side down, on cutting surface. Cut crosswise into thin slices. With spatula, lift each pear half and arrange on crust, separating and overlapping slices, to cover surface of crust. Mix remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over pears.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and pears are tender.
Enjoy!
The pear tart looks very elegant and perfect as a fall dessert.
