Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, almond flour, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough holds together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Peel, core, and slice the pears into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices.

Step 8

In a large bowl, toss the pear slices with lemon juice, the remaining 50 grams of granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Set aside.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan.

Step 10

Press the dough into the edges, and trim any excess.

Step 11

Arrange the marinated pear slices in a circular pattern, starting from the outer edge and working inward, slightly overlapping them.

Step 12

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Step 13

In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves and water over low heat, stirring until smooth.

Step 14

Brush the apricot glaze over the warm pears for a beautiful sheen and additional flavor.

Step 15
