Step 1
First, prepare the dough for the crust. To do this, mix flour, softened butter, sugar, add cinnamon (a pinch, just the tip of a spoon), and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough, gather it into a ball, and place it in the refrigerator to chill. Meanwhile, wash, peel, and slice the pears. Fry them in a pan with butter and sugar. When the pears release their juice, simmer for a few more minutes, then drain the juice and put it in the refrigerator.

Take a piece of dough out of the refrigerator, roll it into a 5 mm thick sheet, and bake for twenty minutes until fully cooked in the oven at 180 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare the frangipane. Beat the butter with sugar, add the egg, then mix in flour, almonds, and vanilla. Pour the frangipane over the cooled cake base.
