It’s snack time, and a relative is arriving. What to prepare to welcome them? Just enough time to check what you have at home and, in no time, here’s this delicious Tart with Pears and Pistachio Crumbs coming out of the oven. The jam I used on top of the shortcrust base is an extra pear jam from Emilia Romagna IGP, but if you can’t find it, you can replace it by cooking pears with sugar until creamy.

Steps
Using the mixer, make the all-purpose flour and butter sandy. Pour everything into a bowl, add the almond flour, powdered sugar, egg, and egg yolk.
Add the salt, vanilla, grated orange zest, and mix all the ingredients. Pour onto a work surface and finish kneading. Quickly form a dough ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest 30 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, preheat the static oven to 347°F.
After the resting time, roll out the shortcrust with the rolling pin, leaving some aside for the lattice top, and make a base about 1/8 inch. Place it in a 9.5 inch diameter pan lined with parchment paper. Prick the bottom, pour the pear jam on the base, followed by thinly sliced pears and pistachio crumbs. With the remaining shortcrust, roll out a rectangle and cut strips. Form the lattice top and a cord around the edge. Bake in a static oven for 30 minutes. Once cooled, serve your Tart with Pears and Pistachio Crumbs.
