Pear Tart

Fall has arrived!  While most people are bingeing on pumpkin spiced everything, I like to add pears to my list of must have foods of the season.  This tart is an easy dessert that is perfect for the season.  It pairs nicely with a scoop (or two) of vanilla bean ice cream or some fresh whipped cream.  Pick up some pears at the farmer's market and give this recipe a try.

 1 Refrigerated Pre-Made Pie Crust
4 - 5 Pears
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter - Melted
2 Tbsp Flour
3/4 c Sugar
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
Pinch of Kosher Salt

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Roll out pie crust dough.  Transfer the dough to an 9 inch tart pan.  Place the tart pan on a foil lined baking sheet and set aside.

Peel, core and slice the pears.  Arrange the pears in an overlapping fan pattern in the tart pan.

In a small bowl mix together the melted butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pinch of salt.  Evenly cover the pears with the mixture.

Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 40 minutes or until crust is golden and the filling is bubbly and shiny.

Let tart cool to room temperature before serving.
