We have that exact recipe in HBin5. You’ll want to use 1/2 pound of dough and it requires no resting before or after laying it over the caramelized fruit. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Thanks, Zoë

So glad you can now justify the 12-inch cast iron skillet, it is a beauty! Just keep in mind that the 12-inch skillet is a bit of a beast to flip over, so be careful. I think I used a 10-inch in this post!

Cheers, Zoë

I LOVE this idea! I was looking at the Emile Henri tatin set, but will likely use it about once or twice a year. A cast iron skillet, on the other hand, has a hundred uses. What size is yours? My 10″ looks a bit small for pears, but any excuse to add a 12″ monster to my kitchen is a good one!

I just made Maple Monkey Bread with the ABin5 Brioche Dough, and this is next!

Thanks again,

Dd that recipe call for ground cinnamon and other spices or were they left whole? Unfortunately I can’t get the link you left to work?

The flavor of the cinnamon in this recipe is not at all overwhelming to me. Having said that everyone’s tastes are so different so you may want to try it with half a stick and see if that suits you better.

If the other recipe uses ground spices it will have an entirely different flavor.

Thanks! Zoë

This pie calls for d’anjou or bartlett pears with pomegranate syrup made from condensing juice.

The shortcoming with the recipe is its call for cinammon and another spice such as nutmeg, allspice, and/or clove.

We made the recipe as prescribed and found the spices overpowers the subtle flavor of the pear. It was disappointing.

At this point, we would be skeptical of even using only cinnamon in a retry.

In turn, the use of cinnamon in this tarte makes us likewise suspicious.

Enjoy the flavor of the pear and pomegranate ABSENT spice!

Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m so glad you made the tart and it was such a success!

Thanks, Zoë

I made this for our Break the Fast dinner last night (breaking the Yom Kippur fast). Out of all of the beautiful dishes, people COULD NOT stop raving about this tart! Its incredible–I used the tart dough you suggested and the people who “weren’t sure if they had room for dessert” came back for seconds and thirds! Thank you so much, I will be making this for everyone I know.

Where, oh where do you live that you have both a pomegranate and pear tree? I am so jealous. My garden yields rhubarb in the spring and that is about all!

Thank you for your kind words!

Zoë
