This happens to be one of my favorite tarts. Almond filling sits on top of a golden crust topped with pear halves. My dad usually makes it because I was always under the impression that it’s a lot of work. To my surprise it is fairly easy to make. I used this recipe for a larger crowd, perfect for THE HOLIDAYS. I hope you enjoy it as well❤️.
