Vegan Pear and Almond Tart

Whole foods, plant-based, no oil (some modified). Prepared recipes are rated.

A minimalist but delicious vegan pear and almond tart with a whole wheat crust and amaretto-spiked pears., this Pear and Almond Tart is the perfect recipe for a special meal. It's easy as pie to make, looks perfectly elegant, and is incredibly delicious with the warmth of nutmeg-kissed pears in a biscuity, almondy, part whole-wheat crust. I add some Amaretto, to add more almond flavor to this tart, but you could use almond extract instead. You could also try mixing some slivered almonds in with the filling-- they'd be perfect in here.

subheading: For the crust:

½ cup whole wheat pastry flour

¾ cup all purpose flour

¼ cup almond butter

¼ cup vegan butter (try subbing almond butter)

¼ tsp salt

1 Tbsp. sugar

Ice-cold water

subheading: For the filling:

3 pears , cut into halves, then thinly sliced horizontally (no need to peel-- the skins melt in your mouth when baked)

¼ cup sugar

¼ tsp nutmeg (use cardamom for a delicious variation)

1 Tbsp. amaretto (or ½ tsp almond extract)

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
