Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the tart shells on a baking sheet to get them ready. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, balsamic vinegar, and cinnamon until everything is well combined. Add the pears and chopped almonds to the bowl and gently toss until all the pieces are nicely coated with the mixture. Spoon this pear and almond filling evenly into each tart shell. Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the tartlets turn a lovely golden color. Let them cool a bit before serving, and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A light dusting of powdered sugar adds a pretty finishing touch. These tartlets also pair well with a cup of tea or coffee.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the pears may change.
