1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup, cubed cold butter
2 tbsp ice water
2, thinly sliced pear
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp, chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp, melted butter

Instructions

Step 1: For the crust, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup cubed cold butter and pulse until crumbly. Gradually add 2 tbsp ice water until the dough comes together. Press into a 9-inch tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange 2 thinly sliced pears over the chilled crust. Drizzle with 2 tbsp honey and sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme.
Step 3: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown. Brush the top with 1 tbsp melted butter while still warm, then let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
