SLIDESHOWS: Great Fall Desserts

Flaky Pear Tartlets

These tartlets, made with layered sheets of phyllo and almond cream, are a riff on baklava: "My mom's family is from Lebanon, so I grew up loving baklava," chef Jason Travi says. If you can, fill the tartlets with Bartlett pears, which are sweet but not very juicy (too much liquid will make the phyllo soggy).
