Delicious flaky tarts filled with sweet plums and topped with a crunchy almond crumble.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 4 pieces ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Make the Tart Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In another bowl, combine the sliced plums, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss until the plums are well coated and set aside.
- Make the Almond Crumble: In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, rolled oats, slivered almonds, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until crumbly.
- Assemble the Tarts: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled tart dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into circles to fit your tart pans. Gently press the dough into the pans.
- Spoon the prepared plum mixture into each tart shell, then sprinkle the almond crumble generously on top.
- Bake: Place the tarts on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tarts are golden brown and the plums are bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the tarts cool slightly before serving. They are delicious warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a different flavor, you can substitute peaches or cherries for the plums.
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for added indulgence.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
