Ingredients

• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 125 g Vegan butter, cold and cubed
• 60 ml Iced water
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 50 g Ground almonds
• 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 15 g Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
• 3 medium Ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Apricot jam
• 1 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Add the cold vegan butter cubes and use your fingers to rub them into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the iced water slowly to the mix, stirring until the dough comes together into a ball. If necessary, add a little more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess.

Step 8

Prick the bottom of the tart shell with a fork to prevent bubbling, then place it in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 9

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, ground almonds, almond milk, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 10

Pour the almond mixture into the chilled tart shell, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Arrange the pear slices on top in a fan pattern starting from the outer edge towards the center.

Step 12

Brush the pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.

Step 13

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

Step 14

In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water over low heat until melted and smooth.

Step 15

Remove the tart from the oven and immediately brush the pears with the warm apricot glaze.

Step 16

Allow the tart to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the outer ring and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
