A delightful and irresistible Cranberry Almond Tart featuring a buttery almond-infused crust topped with fresh cranberries, sliced almonds, and a honey drizzle, baked to golden perfection. This tart perfectly balances tartness and sweetness with a satisfying crunch, ideal for festive occasions or a special dessert treat.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 egg yolk

Topping

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the tart.
  2. Prepare Crust Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, and granulated sugar thoroughly.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add Egg Yolk and Form Dough: Add the egg yolk to the crumb mixture and mix until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  5. Shape Crust: Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan to create the crust.
  6. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until it sets but is not fully browned.
  7. Add Toppings: Evenly spread fresh cranberries and sliced almonds over the partially baked tart crust.
  8. Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the honey evenly over the cranberries and almonds to add sweetness and glaze.
  9. Bake Tart: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the toppings are slightly caramelized.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving to let the flavors set and ensure clean slicing.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to ensure a flaky crust texture.
  • Fresh cranberries provide the best tart flavor; if unavailable, frozen can be used but thaw and drain excess moisture before use.
  • Allow the tart to cool completely to avoid breaking the crust when slicing.
  • Honey drizzle can be swapped with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
  • For a nuttier crust, you can toast the almond flour lightly before mixing.
