pear tart

Poached fruit dessert

A pear tart is a baked pastry featuring sliced or poached pears arranged on a crust, often with custard or frangipane beneath.

The pears are typically fanned in concentric circles and glazed after baking: She made a French pear tart with almond cream.

Bosc and Anjou pears hold their shape well for tarts.
