Ingredients
1 package puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
2 pears, any variety
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup quick cooking oats
4 tbsp butter, room temperature
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out thawed puff pastry slightly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cream together butter and sugar until smooth, then add egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Mix in flour and oats until a thick, spreadable paste forms.
- Spread frangipane mixture evenly over puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Thinly slice pears and arrange on top of the frangipane.
- Fold pastry edges slightly inward to create a rustic tart edge.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and pears are tender.
- Warm honey with 1 tsp vanilla extract until slightly runny.
- Brush glaze over baked tart and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use firm pears like Bosc or Bartlett for best results.
You can swap pears for apples, plums, or peaches.
Sprinkle pastry edges with sugar before baking for extra crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerated up to 4 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.
