This tart is a twist on the classic French dessert, with the addition of raspberry jam and canned pears. The end result is a beautiful tart that is sure to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.Start by making the tart crust. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and unsalted butter. Mix the ingredients together until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing between each addition until the dough comes together in a ball.
2.Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and spread raspberry jam over it.
3.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4.To make the filling, mix together sliced almonds, unsalted butter, flour, sugar, egg, and almond extract. Spread this mixture over the raspberry jam in the pastry shell.
5.Arrange sliced canned pears on top of the filling and press them down slightly.
6.Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes until the filling is golden brown and the crust is cooked.
7.Decorate with fresh raspberries and sprinkle with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
