Raspberry Almond Tart

For the Almond Crust
 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
 ½ cup almond flour (finely ground almonds)
 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
 1 egg yolk
 1 tbsp cold water
 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling
 ½ cup raspberry jam
 1 cup fresh raspberries (for extra texture)
 ½ tsp almond extract (optional, for a stronger almond flavor)
For the Almond Topping
 ½ cup sliced almonds
 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Make the Almond Crust
1

  • Prepare the Dough:
    • In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.
    • Add cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Bind the Dough:
    • Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, and cold water.
    • Pulse until the dough just starts to come together (do not overmix).
  • Chill the Dough:
    • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pre-Bake the Tart Crust
2

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Set the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Roll Out the Dough:
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 10-inch circle.
    • Carefully transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it evenly into the edges.
  • Blind Bake:
    • Prick the crust with a fork, place parchment paper on top, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.
    • Let cool slightly.
