For an extra layer of flavor, brush the baked tart with a warm apricot glaze after it cools slightly. Feel free to experiment with different types of pears based on what's available and your personal preferences. If you don't have turbinado sugar, brown sugar can be used as a substitute for a slightly richer flavor.
