Pear Tart

 Ingrediants

Crust:

Store bought pie crusts.

Filling:

3 medium pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze:

1 teaspoon honey



Technique
Peel the pears, core them and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a large bowl toss the pear slices with the lemon juice. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and cinnamon and toss until the pears are evenly coated. Spread the crust over the tart pan and press into place.  Spread the pears in a circular pattern across the entire tart pan.

Preheat the oven at 425.  Bake the tart for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, keeping the tart in the oven all the while, and bake for another 40 minutes, until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.

When the tart is done remove it from the oven and brush the honey all over the top of the fruit and crust. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or a room temperature.  Buon appetito!
