Paraben Free Paleo Almond Pear Frangipane Tart

This elegant tart brings together a buttery almond crust, a rich frangipane filling, and fanned pear halves in a way that looks genuinely impressive but comes together with straightforward pantry staples. The crust is built from almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut oil, and maple syrup — no grains, no refined sugars, and nothing synthetic hiding in the ingredient list. Frangipane is traditionally made with butter and white sugar, but here coconut oil and maple syrup do the heavy lifting, producing a filling that bakes up beautifully puffed and golden with a moist, almost custardy crumb. Ripe but firm pears are sliced into a fan shape before being pressed into the filling, so every slice gets that gorgeous layered look without any complicated technique. A light maple glaze and a scatter of sliced almonds finish the top before it goes into the oven, adding a subtle caramelized sweetness and a little crunch. Because every ingredient here is whole and recognizable, you can feel confident about exactly what's going into your dessert — no preservatives, no synthetic additives, just clean, real food. Serve it warm from the pan or at room temperature, and don't be surprised when everyone asks for the recipe.
