This Pear & Almond Tart is a European love child, made with a mixture of Italian and French influences. Featuring Apple Cake Spice that'll season a pear to perfection! Serve warm with ice cream and a pot of tea.

Ingredients

90g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
½ cup brown sugar
2 free-range eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 cup almond meal
¼ cup plain flour or gluten-free flour
1 tbsp Gewürzhaus Apple Cake Spice, plus extra for dusting
¼ tsp baking powder
2-3 pears, peeled, cored and quartered
1 tsp runny honey

Directions

Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 25cm tart case with butter.
Cream the butter and sugar together, using electric beaters, for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt. Beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the mixture into the greased tin and smooth out the top with the back of a spoon.
Use a sharp knife to score the back of each pear quarter to create approximately 5-7 vertical lines on each piece. Place the pear segments on top of the tart, cut side up.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Brush the top of the warm tart lightly with the honey, then sprinkle a light dusting of Apple Cake Spice to top. Allow the tart to cool before removing it from the tin.

To serve

Serve with cream or ice cream and sprinkle toasted slivered almonds over, if desired.
