Tarte tatin aux poires à l'envers

I used a pâte brisée here, but you could really use anything.

Ingredients:
100g of crème anglaise (or vanilla pudding works too)
3 unripe pears
50g butter
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup of sugar

Place the crust in a 9 inch tart pan.  Pierce and cover with the crème anglaise.
Cut the pear into quarters, remove the core, and slice thinly on a mandolin.
Place the pears on top of the crème anglaise.
Melt the butter, remove from heat and stir in cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.
Pour the mixture over the pears.
Bake in a 400oF oven for 35 to 45 minutes.
