Easy Cinnamon Pear Tart
- 1 large pears ripe but firm, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon flour, all-purpose plus 1/3 cup, divided, plus additional for dusting
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar divided
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 18 teaspoon nutmeg prefer freshly grated, or ground
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 13 cup pastry flour, whole wheat
- 1 1/2 tablespoon butter chilled and unsalted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil or grape seed oil, walnut oil
- 1 tablespoon water cold, or more as needed
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
- Add pear slices, 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl, gently toss until evenly coat.
- Add 13 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl, whisk until well blended.
- Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Sprinkle oil over the mixture and stir with a fork until evenly combined.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon water and stir until the dough just stays together when pressed with a fork, add up to another extra tablespoon of water if the dough feels too dry.
- Line a work surface with parchment paper or a baking mat, generously dust with flour and transfer the dough onto it.
- Form the dough into a small patty, dust the top with flour and roll into a rustic 10-inch circle, adding more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the crust to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Lay the pear slices in decorative, overlapping circles on top of the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
- Spoon any remaining pear juice over the slices.
- Pick up the edges of the crust by using a spatula and fold over the pears.
- The crust should not touch in the center.
- Bake until lightly browned and bubbling, 38 to 42 minutes.
- Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
