Xanthan Gum 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 relies entirely on wholesome, straightforward ingredients. The crust comes together in a food processor using almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut oil, maple syrup, and egg — no gums, no starches that act as binders you'd rather avoid, just ingredients that do their job naturally. The frangipane is equally clean: almond flour, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and a touch of almond extract whisk into a silky, fragrant filling that puffs beautifully around the pears as it bakes. Fanning the pear halves before pressing them into the filling is a small step that makes the finished tart look like it came from a proper patisserie. A brush of maple syrup over the fruit gives the top a gentle gloss, and a scatter of sliced almonds adds just enough crunch to contrast the tender, custardy interior. This is the kind of dessert that works equally well at a dinner party or a slow Sunday afternoon — serve it warm or at room temperature and watch it disappear.
