This elegant tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a French patisserie but comes together entirely from pantry-friendly, 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 creamy frangipane filling. That filling is rich with almond extract, coconut oil, and maple syrup, giving it a nutty, almost caramel-like depth that pairs perfectly with the soft, fanned pear halves pressed into the top. Because every single ingredient here is naturally free of red meat and animal-derived gelatin or meat-based additives, there's nothing to second-guess on the label. The whole thing is sweetened with maple syrup rather than refined sugar, and coconut oil does the heavy lifting in both the crust and the filling, so it stays completely grain-free and paleo-compliant from base to topping. Sliced almonds scattered over the pears add a gentle crunch and a gorgeous finish that makes this tart genuinely impressive for a dinner party or a slow weekend afternoon. 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.
