Directions
- Position rack in lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a food processor combine almond paste, one of the eggs, the cornstarch, and salt. Cover and process until well mixed. Dust a piece of parchment paper with flour. Place the disk of Perfect Pie Crust on paper. Using a rolling pin, roll crust into a circle 12 to 13 inches in diameter. Spread almond paste mixture in the center of the crust circle, leaving a 2-inch space uncovered around the edge.
- In a large bowl toss pears with lemon juice and nutmeg. Arrange pears on top of almond paste mixture. Gently fold crust edge over pear mixture to just cover edges of pears, pleating as necessary. Transfer crostata on parchment paper to a baking sheet. In a small bowl beat the remaining one egg with a whisk; brush edge of crust with beaten egg.
- Bake about 40 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and pears are soft. To prevent overbrowning, cover crostata loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking. Place apricot preserves in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) just until melted; brush over pears. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve warm or cooled.

I have made this before, found the recipe in a magazine some time ago, and it was wonderful and everyone loved it. Been searching for this recipe for a while, so glad I found this site.
