The last slice

This was the last slice of sweet pear tart made with our homegrown pears. See all those different layers inside? It's basically the same as the French pear tart I made a few weeks back—with the pâte brisée crust, a layer of almond butter (freshly ground from Whole Foods that day!) and sliced almonds. But under those layers, right on the crust, I also added a layer of almond paste, which is much like marzipan but with more almonds. Good to the last flakey bite.
