  Lovely topping to this tart. Made with Bramley apples instead of pears as I thought they would have more taste & didnt add the almonds on top as I dont like flaked almonds. All the family loved it & will definately be making it again

  This tasted fresh and lovely, although I used very ripe pears and the juice made the pastry underneath go soggy. I just noticed the tip above about putting a layer of ground almonds over the pastry base if the pears are very ripe, to soak up the juice. Wish I'd noticed it before making the tart!! Was still yummy though:)

  this was a lovely dinner treat! we happened to substitute the pastry base for a crumbled digestive option out of pure greed. Served with strawberries & cream certainly did the trick :)

  Made this last night and substituted the pears with peaches and spread some yellow plum jam over the base - no soggy bottom and lots of compliments. Will definately make again.
