Ingredients

  • 3 pears unripe work best, halved and sliced ¼ inch thin
  • ¼ cup maple sugar
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a pie dish or round tart pan with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Arrange pear slices, overlapping slightly, around the pie dish. Two circles should be adequate.
  • Place maple sugar, flour, vanilla, eggs, milk, and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Slowly add melted butter while blending. Pour batter over pears in the dish.
  • Bake until golden brown, ~40-45 minutes. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, crème fraiche, or plain greek yogurt.
