Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, combine the diced Pears with Lemon juice, Pear brandy, and Spice Mixture. Let macerate for 15 minutes.
To make the Charlotte Base, combine All-purpose flour, Almond flour, Sugar, and Butter in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press half of the Charlotte Base mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
Arrange the spiced Pears evenly over the base.
To make the Custard, whisk together Eggs, Milk, Heavy cream, Sugar, Vanilla extract, and Almond extract in a bowl.
Pour the Custard over the Pears.
Sprinkle the remaining Charlotte Base mixture over the Custard.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until golden brown and the custard is set. Let cool completely before releasing from the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
