By gourmandeinthekitchen.com

Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

Coconut oil or unsalted butter, for baking dish

2-3 large Bosc pears, halved lengthwise, cored and sliced thinly

250g/ 1 cup coconut milk

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 Tablespoon Poire Williams (pear brandy or you can also use cognac)

50g/ 1/4 cup unrefined sugar (I used coconut sugar)

60g/ 1/2 cup almond flour (or regular flour if gluten-free is not a concern for you)

¼ tsp of fine sea salt

28g/ ¼ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees/190C. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or 10-inch ceramic tart dish or 9 1/2-inch pie plate with butter or coconut oil; set aside.  Fan cut pears over bottom of prepared dish.  Blend coconut milk, eggs, vanilla, pear brandy, coconut sugar, almond flour, and salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. The mixture will be thin, like crêpe batter.  Pour batter over pears. Sprinkle sliced almonds over batter.  Bake until golden and set, about 35-40 minutes.  Let stand 10-15 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
