Black Pepper Free Paleo Almond Pear Frangipane Tart

This elegant tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a French patisserie but comes together with a surprisingly wholesome ingredient list. The almond flour crust is pressed right into the pan — no rolling, no chilling overnight — and blind-baking it first ensures a golden, sturdy base that holds up beautifully under the creamy frangipane filling. That filling is rich with almond extract, maple syrup, and coconut oil, giving it a nutty, lightly sweet depth that pairs perfectly with the soft, juicy pears layered on top. Fanning the pear halves before pressing them into the batter is a small step that makes a big visual difference, turning a simple bake into something genuinely stunning. Everything here is naturally grain-free and sweetened only with maple syrup, so it fits a paleo approach without any compromise on flavor or texture. For anyone avoiding spice blends or pre-made baking mixes that often sneak in unwanted seasonings, making this from scratch with clean, single-ingredient pantry staples means you know exactly what's in every bite. Serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature — either way, it disappears fast.
