8 servings

  • cooking spray
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped almonds
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pears, drained and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a small bowl until crumbly. Beat in flour and almonds. Press over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan.
  • Beat cream cheese in another small bowl until smooth. Beat in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Spread over the crust. Arrange pear slices over the cream cheese layer.
  • Combine sugar, cardamom, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until filling is set and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Cool tart on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
