A warm Rustic Pear Tart for dessert tonight is all you need for a happy family!

When I say rustic…I mean rustic. This is a super simple and free form pear pie essentially with just a handful of ingredients. I’ve made this pear tart many times and it really is perfect for fall baking and a hit at every fall party I take it to. I really only make it when I can get fresh pears by the case that are ripe and perfectly sweet.

I love working with SPLENDA® Sweetener Products and  thought it would be a good idea to take my famous Pear Tart and swap out the brown sugar for SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend. Wouldn’t you know it….no one even noticed my sweet swap! I’d call that a winner!

My pear tart is basically a free form pie without a pan. Just lay the pie dough out on a cookie sheet, pile the pears in the middle and bring the edges up and around the pears. Easy Peasy!
