I love a good classic dessert like this pear tart that I can use for any occasion. Some more of my other favorites are this strawberry shortcake, this cheesecake and this delicious caramel apple slab pie.
Pear Tart Recipe
This pear tart is so delicious that I don’t even know where to begin! Should I start by telling you about the heavenly crust that is buttery and flakey? Or perhaps we begin with the filling that is so good that I could eat it all by itself by the spoonful? Or the magic these two things make when you bake them together and get a caramelized topping to combine them all? Dessert is taken seriously at our house, and this one never fails! This pear tart is delicious and will hit the spot and be the star of the show at any get-together. It comes together so easily too! So be sure to whip this recipe up to impress your guests. They will all be asking for the recipe by the end of the night! Serve this with some vanilla ice cream and they won’t be able to stop at one slice.
