A pear tart gets a bold upgrade when Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero meets golden caramel. The sweet heat of habanero woven through buttery caramelized pears and a flaky crust is the kind of unexpected dessert that turns heads and has guests asking for the recipe. This skillet tart flips beautifully and looks like you spent all afternoon on it - even when you did not.

Smoky Honey Habanero Caramel Pear Tart

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero Sweet Spicy Rub

  • 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 2 pounds Bosc pears, peeled, cored and halved
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

  • Prepared Pie Crust dough, 1 disk

Directions

  1. Add the pears, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to a large bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 375° F.

  3. In an ovenproof cast-iron skillet, add the 2/3 cup sugar and place over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar melts and turns golden brown.
  4. Add the butter and stir well to combine. Sprinkle Smoky Honey Habanero Rub and cinnamon over the caramel and stir to combine. Remove from heat and add the pears so they fit snuggly on the bottom. Top with the pie dough disk, tucking the sides down between the sides of the skillet and the pears.
  5. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 35-45 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges and place a serving plate over the skillet. Carefully flip the tart over. Serve with a dusting of confectioners sugar, whipped cream or ice cream.
