Think back to January 6, 2009. Do you know what was baking in your oven?
If you were a member of TWD that year, you had THIS lovely tart in there.
- French Pear Tart
This tart was special because Dorie chose it for the group to bake. And hers is beautiful (DUH!!)
The tart calls for one of Dorie’s crusts – either the Sweet Tart or the Sweet Tart with Nuts. I had some shortbread crust left so I used that. It did add extra sweetness but just made the tart even better. The pear halves are sliced thinly and fanned out over the almond cream.
When out of the oven you can either brush with an apple jelly glaze, or, as I did, dust with powdered sugar.
The recipe is on Dorie’s Site so go there. This is so simple to put together you will want to make it EVERY nite!!!
I’m catching up on the TWD treats I missed before joining so you will be seeing still more of Dorie’s treats over the next few weeks.

Look how pretty your tart is! And I know it was yummy – this recipe was one of the all-time best-received Dorie recipes among my tasters.

This is SUCH a gorgeous dessert! I was a member of TWD for this recipe but I can’t remember how I felt about it so I think I need to make it again

I missed this one. Looks like I better make it soon, I have some tart dough in the freezer. It just may be dessert tonight.
