Crust

Spread into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the parchment lined 9-inch Springform Pan, you can use the back of a metal spoon to smooth it out and spread it out uniformly. (it is a naturally sticky dough, you can also run the spoon under hot water and wipe off, then spread). 

Filling

• Pour over the crust and spread out evenly. 

Topping

• Mix the sugar and Cinnamon, set aside. Slice the pears and then gently dip each slice into the cinnamon and sugar mixture coating both sides. Then arrange on the top of the filling. Sprinkle with the Roasted Almonds.
