A deep dish pear tart, adapted from Eat Smarter, with walnut honey filling in a nutty spelt shortcrust pastry. This is also great with the combination of apples and almonds.

- Combine all the ingredients for the crust and mix until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Combine vanilla sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Peel, halve, and use a melon-ball scoop to core and stem the pears. Cut them in half lengthwise and add to the saucepan. Adjust the heat to low and let it simmer for 12 minutes. Remove the pear halves and set aside to cool.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the egg yolks with honey until thick and creamy. Fold in egg white.
- Preheat to 180C/350F. Roll out the chilled dough on floured sheet of parchment paper and Gently lay dough inside 9-10-inch spring form pan and press up the sides.
- Spread the walnut filling evenly into the crust. Arrange the pear halves atop filling and gently press in. Bake tart until golden, about 50 minutes. Cool tart in pan on rack. Cut tart into wedges and sprinkle with powdered sugar and chopped walnuts, if desired, and serve.

Beautiful job:). This tart looks delicious. I love the pears and walnuts.
Pear tarts always make my mouth water, and your lovely version has me drooling (sorry, maybe too much information!)
Oh, yum...I know combination of walnuts and pears is magical; Love your styling!
Angie, can I use all purpose flour instead of refined spelt flour ? This tart looks gorgeous and I am thinking of making this for Christmas :) Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
Walnuts and pears go together like peanut butter and jelly. What a great combo for a dessert.
Angie your tart is beautiful. I love how you kept each half of a pear in tact. I'm sure this tastes wonderful. Very pretty.
A beautiful tart! So tempting and delicious looking. Perfect.
Cheers,

Your tart is making me feel nostalgic Angie. It reminds me of snowy cold afternoons and a hot chocolate after a long travel back from school. =)
@Elin Chia Sure.
I like your deep dish pear tart. More crust, I love it that way, Angie.
I am imagining myself with a piece of your delicious tart sitting by the window in a cold morning enjoying it with a cup of hot tea.
Have a lovely weekend.

Love the idea of the deep dish tart. The pears and the walnuts together are a classic and pears always mean elegant to me.

It looks gorgeous Angie, the pears we have now are small in size so I won't get this perfect look, but I'd love to give it a try anyways :)
That turned out beautifully, Angie. What a pretty presentation. I bet it was delicious.
Beautiful! Beautiful! I really fancy trying this one. I love the shell made with spelt flour and I love pear with walnuts together. Thank you for this excellent recipe and fab photos too!
It could be served at Christmas too!
This is stunning!!

Fruit tart is always my favourite dessert. Yours turned out very beautifully. Love it!
Angie - this pie is so gorgeous - love the walnuts combined with the pears and honey! YUM!
It looks beautiful and delicious. Wish I had a slice right now!
this is relatively basic compared to many of the items you post, and i think i like it most of all! :)
This is a beautiful tart Angie! Love the pear and walnut combination too.
Oh yum. I really like pears, but don't cook or bake with them very often. This tart looks so pretty and very tasty!
It's always such a pleasure to come here and gaze at the photos. This tart has me convince that I would get one of my five servings of fruit and vegetables! But it's beauty is really what attracts me.
What a beautiful dessert. Perfect for the holidays.
What a beautiful tart Angie! Love the pear and walnut filling and I really love the crust! I add a little spelt to my quiche crusts, but I love the way you used only spelt and then added the walnuts. You're right - a very nutty crust!
Angie, this is just perfect and beautiful for the season of fresh pears! You're amazing!
Thank you for the heads-up about the 'captcha' issue on my blog; it wasn't working and I just disabled it for you and my friends. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, your visits mean a lot to me. Have a lovely weekend!
