  • Press the pie dough in a tart pan. Peel and slice the pears into thin slices. I like to keep the slices together, they look so beautiful when you lay them into the tart pan.

  • Press the pears into the filling. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes. The filling will puff a little and the crust will be golden brown. Let cool in pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from pan. Let cool completely.
