Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 3 medium Pear
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the unsweetened applesauce and mix until crumbly.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together in a ball. If needed, add a bit more water to help it bind.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough into the pan, pressing it evenly into the sides and bottom.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin slices. Place the pear slices in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Sprinkle over the pear slices and stir gently to coat.
Arrange the pear slices in a circular pattern over the dough in the tart pan, starting from the outer edge and working your way in.
Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pear tart to cool before removing from the tart pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
