Pear Frangipane Tart

"With pear season in full swing, it's the perfect timing to make this incredible Frangipane Pear Tart, also known as Tart Bourdaloue. A classic tart filled with light almond cream and softly poached pears. This Pear Frangipane Tart is the perfect Fall dessert celebrating seasonal pears and would grace any Holiday dessert table. Using my foolproof Sweet Short Crust Recipe (Pâte Sucrée), the tart shell is flaky and crisp and creates the perfect housing for the filling. The frangipane filling is fragrant, nutty, and sweet and it accompanies fruit perfectly. Today we use delicately spiced poached pears to create this Bourdaloue tart. It's perfect for Fall baking."
