Ingredients:

• A fresh, no pre-baking pie crust (use any basic pie crust you are familiar with to make the crust. This can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer)

• 3 eggs

• 4 large & ripe (but firm) Anjou or Bosc pears, cut into 1/5 inch thin slices, length-wise

• 1 cup crème fraîche

• 1 tbsp cornstarch

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 2 tsp almond extract

• Apricot marmalade

Beat the eggs; add crème fraiche, sugar, almond extra & corn starch, mix well.

Arrange the pear slices on the fresh tart crust, gently pour the mixture over pears until it fills up the tart.

Bake in the 400 F degree pre-heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or till golden brown.

Spread a thin layer of apricot marmalade on top of the tart for the golden shining coat.

Serve at room temperature.
