Servings: persons

1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 17.3-oz. box frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
3 1/2 ounces almond paste, cut into small pieces
5 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 ripe but firm Bosc pears (about 1 1/4 lb.), peeled, cored, halved, sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
1/3 cup dried cherries

1
Place almonds in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking skillet often, until nuts are lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
2
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F; line a large baking sheet with parchment. Place one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Brush it lightly with water; place second sheet on top. Using a rolling pin, roll pastry sheets together into a 12-inch square, then trim into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to lined baking sheet; refrigerate.
3
In a bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat almond paste, 3 Tbsp. sugar and 1 egg until smooth. Beat in butter and almond extract until smooth. Stir in flour. Spread mixture evenly over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Fan pears in a circle over filling. Scatter cherries on top. Fold pastry edges over filling, pleating as you go, leaving center of pears exposed. The pastry should tightly enclose pears and filling.
4
Beat remaining egg with 1 tsp. water. Brush mixture over pastry edges. Sprinkle remaining sugar over fruit. Bake until pastry is golden, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle almonds over fruit and transfer tart to a wire rack to cool. Serve at room temperature.
