Print this recipe here: https://www.dimitrasdishes.com/pear-frangipane-puff-pastry-tart/

Ingredients
1 package (1.1lbs/490g) puff pastry, thawed
4 pears, halved, cored, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup apricot jam
For the Frangipane:

4 oz (113 g) unsalted butter, soft or melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure almond extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest or more
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F, 180 C.

Line two baking trays with parchment paper and place the puff pastry sheets in each pan.

Poke the pastry all around with a fork.

Make the frangipane:

Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk together. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract and mix together until combined. Add the flour and lemon zest and mix together.

Divide the frangipane equally over the two sheets of puff pastry and spread it across the top leaving a half-inch border.

Arrange the pears on top of the frangipane.

Add the apricot jam to a bowl along with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Microwave it until it's warm and whisk together.

Brush the jam over the pears and over the border of the tart.

Bake for about 40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and the pears are soft.

Allow to cool slightly and serve with coffee.

Kali Orexi!

Notes
Use apples, peaches, cherries, or apricots instead of the pears, if desired.
