Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup sorghum flour (*)
  • 0.5 cup brown rice flour
  • 0.5 cup tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
  • 1 Tbsp ground chia seeds (*)
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 10 Tbsp cold vegan butter (cut into cubes)
  • 4-6 Tbsp water

Filling and Topping

  • 3 medium pears (ripe but still slightly firm)
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 2 ½ tsp ground ginger powder
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice (from 1 medium lemon (~45 ml))
  • 2 Tbsp cold vegan butter (thinly sliced)

Optional toppings

  • to taste Vegan vanilla ice cream
  • to taste Coconut whipped cream

Instructions 

  • Mix flours, chia seeds, and salt; cut in vegan butter until sandy. Add water gradually until dough comes together. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
  • Prepare pears by slicing thinly and set aside. Mix brown sugar and ginger.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Roll out dough, fit into tart pan, and spread 2/3 of sugar-ginger mixture on the crust. Arrange pear slices, drizzle lemon juice, sprinkle remaining sugar-ginger, and top with sliced vegan butter.
  • Cover with foil, bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake 28-35 minutes until golden and pears tender. Cool before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Chill the dough well for easier handling and ensure pears are sliced uniformly for best presentation.
