Recipe: Pear Tart

INGREDIENTS:

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup of butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup Plain Mountain High Yoghurt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 large pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds

DIRECTIONS:

For the Crust:

  1. Place butter in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder over the butter.
  2. Cut the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder into the butter using a pastry blender, until mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.
  3. Press mixture into a 13×9 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.

For the Filling:

  1. While crust is baking, place yoghurt, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium glass or ceramic bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside.
  2. When crust is done baking, remove from oven and arrange pear slices evenly on top.
  3. Pour the yoghurt mixture evenly over the pears, and sprinkle with slivered almonds.
  4. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set like a custard and slightly browned.
  5. Cool a bit before cutting.

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled!
