This elegant tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a French patisserie but comes together with a surprisingly short ingredient list and no complicated techniques. The almond flour crust is pressed right into the pan — no rolling required — and bakes up golden and tender, while the frangipane filling turns rich, nutty, and just barely custardy in the oven. Fanned pear halves sink gently into that filling as it bakes, creating a stunning pattern that takes almost no effort to achieve. Every ingredient here is naturally free of any spice additions, so there's no need to scan labels or swap anything out — the flavor comes entirely from ripe pears, pure almond extract, and maple syrup. It's a genuinely satisfying dessert that proves simple, clean ingredients can produce something that feels truly special. Serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature, and don't be surprised when people ask for seconds before they've even finished their first slice.

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.
