  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 cups ground almond
  • 6 egg
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Pear Chips

  • 1 pear
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Tarts

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter 4 5-inch removable-bottom tart shells.
  2. Peel and dice pears. Toss with cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar and set aside.

  5. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Pear Chips

  1. Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan and stirring until completely combined and clear. Let cool.

  3. Bake in 275 F oven for 30 to 45 minutes (if starting to colour, turn down oven). Chips will firm up when cooled.
