This elegant tart is the kind of showstopper that looks like it came from a French patisserie but comes together entirely in your own kitchen. The almond-rich frangipane filling is silky and fragrant with pure almond extract, while fanned pear halves sink gently into the batter as it bakes, creating a stunning, naturally beautiful top. Every layer — from the golden almond flour crust to the glossy maple-brushed pears — is sweetened exclusively with maple syrup, making this completely free of honey without any compromise on depth or sweetness. Coconut oil stands in throughout for butter, keeping the whole thing grain-free and paleo-friendly while still delivering a tender, satisfying bite. The blind-baking step ensures the crust stays crisp beneath that luscious filling, so you get clean slices every time. Whether you serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature, this tart is the kind of dessert that quietly impresses everyone at the table — no one will be asking what's missing.

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.
