This elegant almond pear tart is the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a French patisserie but comes together entirely from wholesome, grain-free ingredients. The almond flour crust is pressed right into the pan — no rolling pin required — and bakes up golden and crisp, while the frangipane filling turns rich, nutty, and just barely custardy in the oven. Ripe pears are fanned across the top and gently pressed into that almond cream before baking, so every slice gets a gorgeous layer of tender fruit. Coconut oil and maple syrup do all the heavy lifting in place of butter and refined sugar, keeping the whole thing completely grain-free and naturally sweetened without sacrificing any of the indulgence. It's the kind of showstopper that works equally well as a dinner party centerpiece or a quiet weekend baking project. Serve it warm with a dusting of sliced almonds on top, or let it cool to room temperature where the filling firms up beautifully and the flavors deepen even further.

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.
