Instructions

Prepare the Pastry: In a large bowl, combine the Pastry flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the Filling pears, sugar, almond flour, heavy cream, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat.
Assemble the Tart: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the Pastry dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim and crimp the edges.
Pour the Filling into the tart shell. Drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving.
