1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup (5 ounces) whole blanched almonds
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
3 ripe, firm Bartlett pears
1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons apple jelly

1
Preheat oven to 350F.
2
Brush softened butter into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
3
Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse almonds and sugar until nuts are very finely ground.
4
Add butter, eggs, cocoa, vanilla, salt, and almond extract, if using; process until combined.
5
Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan.
6
Make the topping: Peel, halve, and core pears; cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, rubbing them with lemon as you work (to prevent discoloration).
7
Arrange slices on chocolate mixture, slightly overlapping, without pressing in.
8
Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until top is puffed and a tester inserted in center of chocolate mixture comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes.
9
Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Heat jelly in the microwave or on the stove just until loose.
11
Gently brush pears with jelly; let set, at least 20 minutes.
