3-4pearslarge, ripe, cored and sliced (about 1/3-inch thick)–or peaches, sliced with stone removed.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425. Place a piece of foil or a baking sheet on the lower rack to protect the oven from dripping juice while the tart is baking.
Make the crust. In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oils, milk and vanilla. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and mix gently with a fork. Press the dough into an 11 inch tart pan with your fingers till it covers the bottom and about halfway up the sides. The crust above the “fruit line” tended to brown a lot so not going to the top worked better for me.
Make the crumb topping. Combine the topping ingredients and mix until crumbly.
Assemble your tart. Starting on the outside, arrange the pear slices in concentric circles over the pastry. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until shiny and bubbly and the crust is beginning to brown. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or room temperature.
Notes
Before using the olive oil, I suggest that you taste yours and make sure it tastes very neutral--similar to canola oil. Refined olive oil is usually very mild, but extra virgin olive oil (even "mild" extra virgin) will impart it's distinctive taste. Not a problem if you like that even in sweet foods but most people prefer a lighter oil. You can always use extra of whatever light oil you used instead.
