Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan, pie dish, or springform pan.
Spread the fresh cranberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and all-purpose flour until well combined.
Add the melted butter, eggs, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar-flour mixture. Whisk until smooth to form the batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the cranberries, ensuring they are mostly covered.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the batter for added texture and a nutty flavor.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the tart to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature on its own or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
