Things To Grab
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture until pieces are pea-size. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with fork after each addition just until moist enough to hold together.
- Lightly spray an 11-inch tart pan with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly press dough into pan, making neat edges.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine almond paste and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in egg white. Spread the almond paste mixture evenly over bottom of warm crust.
- Slice apple and pear quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch slices, keeping each one together. Arrange slices, core-side down, on top of almond mixture. Fan apples and pears with your hands to lightly press into almond mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture and coarse sugar.
- Bake until apples and pears are slightly soft, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.
