This elegant tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a French patisserie but comes together entirely from wholesome, grain-free ingredients. The almond flour crust is pressed right into the pan — no rolling, no fuss — and blind-bakes into a golden, slightly crisp shell that holds up beautifully against the silky frangipane filling. That filling is rich with almond extract, coconut oil, and maple syrup, giving it a nutty, fragrant 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 the finished tart look genuinely stunning. Because the entire recipe leans on almond flour, coconut oil, and maple syrup rather than any processed shortcuts, you know exactly what's in every slice. A scatter of sliced almonds on top adds a delicate crunch that takes the whole thing over the edge. Serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature — either way, it disappears fast.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with coconut oil.
Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together the almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt until combined. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and beaten egg, then pulse until the dough comes together into a soft, slightly sticky ball.
