MSG 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 entirely from wholesome, single-ingredient pantry staples. The almond flour crust is pressed right into the pan — no rolling, no chilling overnight — and blind-baking it first ensures a crisp, golden base that holds up beautifully under the creamy frangipane filling. That filling is rich and nutty, sweetened only with maple syrup and lifted by a touch of pure almond extract, so every bite tastes deeply of real ingredients rather than anything artificial. Fanned pear halves are pressed gently into the batter before baking, turning tender and caramelized as the frangipane puffs up around them — it's genuinely stunning with almost zero effort. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of added flavor enhancers, you get incredible depth of flavor the honest way: good nuts, ripe fruit, and coconut oil doing all the heavy lifting. A brush of maple syrup over the pears before baking adds a subtle gloss and gentle sweetness that makes the finished tart look polished enough for a dinner party. Serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature — either way, it disappears fast.
