Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 75 grams Powdered sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams Fresh blackberries
• 30 grams Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam (optional, for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Add the cold, diced unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and ice water to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the almond filling. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the egg, almond flour, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 6

After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess from the edges.

Step 7

Spread the almond filling evenly over the tart shell.

Step 8

Arrange the fresh blackberries on top of the almond filling, pressing them slightly into the filling to secure them.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle slivered almonds on top for added crunch.

Step 10

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the almond filling has set.

Step 11

If desired, prepare a glaze by warming the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Brush the glaze over the tart while still warm for a shiny finish.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
