Nothing beats a pie for treating yourself and delighting the whole family. If you\u2019ve been following me, you already know how much I especially love pies\u2026 and this pear and almond pie is as simple as it is delicious. It also brings to mind the classic tarte amandine<\/em>: a crisp crust, a rich almond cream, and tender pears. A delicious pairing that\u2019s both indulgent and delicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pastry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lately, things have been quite busy, and I haven\u2019t had much time for homemade baking. But the craving for something sweet never takes a break. So when I want to satisfy a small indulgence without spending hours in the kitchen, I use store-bought puff pastry [but always all-butter], which makes things much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can make your own puff pastry: whether it\u2019s the traditional recipe, the inverted method<\/a>, or the quick version<\/a>, they all work well for this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if puff pastry doesn\u2019t appeal to you, a shortcrust pastry, sweet pastry, or sabl\u00e9 pastry will work just as well. It\u2019s up to you to choose based on your preferences and the texture you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right pear variety is essential. Go for varieties that hold their shape well during baking and aren’t too juicy, so the crust doesn\u2019t get soggy. Bosc, Concorde, or Forelle pears are excellent options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you don\u2019t have pears on hand, apples make a delicious substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I often receive questions about oven temperature and baking time. A quick reminder: these elements should always be adjusted to your oven. Every appliance has its own quirks, some ovens bake faster or more intensely than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
