Made It Again Today: My Favorite Pear & Almond Tart

Today I made my husband’s favorite dessert again – the classic French tart with almond cream, tarte aux poires et frangipane. I didn’t have enough pears, so I added some apples, and it turned out beautifully!

The combination of soft pears and slightly tart apples worked surprisingly well with the rich frangipane. The buttery pâte sablée holds the almond cream perfectly, and a light glaze of honey made the fruit shine.

Even with a little improvisation, this tart brought the same joy and excitement to the table. A sweet reminder that sometimes the best desserts are the ones you adapt on the spot!

Note to self: definitely make this again soon – with more pears next time! ❤️
