Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork, until dough holds together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the excess dough.
• In a separate bowl, toss the pears with lemon juice, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Arrange over the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until pears are tender and crust is golden brown.
