I made this with the same ingredients as Ellie Krieger suggested with the exception of the buttermilk. I didn't have buttermilk so I put a little vinegar in some fat free milk to make it sour and used that. This was in my opinion the best dessert I have had in a long time. Not overly sweet, I am not a person that likes sweet food so it was perfect for me. I think my pears were a little too ripe because they were mushy after cooking. I truly enjoyed the feeling like I was being bad but at the same time eating healthy! Thank you Ellie Krieger!!

OOOOPs I just realized I forgot to put the honey glaze on it. Oh well, it still tasted absolutely awesome!

Followed the recipe exactly. While the resulting tart looked pretty, it was lacking in flavor and the crust was a bit bland, thick (despite rolling out t @10'+, and tough. Would try again but with a puff pastry crust and peaches + raspberries in place of the pear.

I was so sure this recipe wouldn't work, but it did. I thought the dough was really wet (it was. Had to add a lot of flour and rolled it out well beyond the 9 ". Three supermarket anjou pears made a huge heap of pears that would not be contained in a 7" circle. I rollled it to about 11 inches and piled the pears really, really high. I was sure things would leak but didn't. The tart was lovely and yummy.. Next time I'll use 2 pears and less liquid.
Good recipe all around. Thanks!

A really easy pie crust. I add vanilla and almond extract to it. Can make with berries, any fruit you like...peaches would be heavenly.

I turned this into a Rustic Pear Almond Crumble Tart: served with blue cheese. I made this recipe as written, although I used only a tiny bit of the honey glaze, and I added crumbled almond shortbread cookie (crumbs as a crumble topping, around the edge of the pie. I had to put tinfoil around the edge when the oven temperature was reduced, to prevent burning. I served it with blue cheese. It was a huge success.

A very easy to make recipe! I had pears and I had a pre-made crust. I thawed out the crust and put in a bowl with a drop of water and rolled it out on baking pan (adding flour. I followed the rest of the recipe and it came out AMAZING! So pretty and takes so little effort and time! I love it!

This was a very beautiful and delicious tart! It would have been better if there was something else to add more flavor (maybe some berries or some kind of nut. It was simple to prepare and looked delightful!

I used frozen pastry crust and used the pear filling. It was absolutely delicious. To top it off we used a dollop of marscapone cheese. Ellie makes the most simply delicious dishes. Thanks, Ellie. Keep 'em coming.
