How to prepare Spiced Apple Pear Christmas Tart

As for any other tart or pie, first, you have to prepare the crust. For this you can easily prepare the dough with even one or two days in advance and keep it refrigerated until needed. 

While the dough is chilling you can prepare tha apple and pear filling. For this cut the apples and pears into small cubes and cook with sugar, spices, lemon juice and water. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until they begin to soften slightly. Let it cool. 

Meanwhile you can blind bake the crust and let it cool before filling. 

Prepare the chocolate almond crunch layer by melting the semisweet chocolate with oil. Mix in the almonds and spread the mixture over the bottom of the crust. Let it set. Pour the apple and pear filling over the chocolate and almond layer. Smooth the top with a spatula. 

Prepare the white chocolate and mascarpone cream and pipe it on top of the apple and pear filling.

You can decorate the tart with sugar cookies and star anise, pecans, bombons, fresh rosemary or whatever you prefer for Christmas.
