Quickly work the mixture with your fingertips until you obtain many crumbs
Butter a rectangular mold and sprinkle with breadcrumbs
Use 3/4 of the mixture, place it in the mold, press to compact, and cover the entire base creating a small edge along the perimeter
Now, focus on the filling: grate the pears with a grater with large holes after washing, peeling, and removing the core and seeds.
Combine the grated pears and crumbled amaretti cookies in a bowl and mix with a spoon
Spread the pear mixture over the pastry layer, level it, and cover with the remaining crumbs. Sprinkle the surface with cinnamon and a tablespoon of granulated sugar
Preheat the air fryer at 320°F for 2/3 minutes, place the mold on the grid, and bake using the bake program for 35 minutes until the surface is golden
Remove from the oven and let cool
Cut the pastries into small rectangles, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve. They are delicious.
