Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour for the crust
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the crust
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into pieces
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam or fruit glaze for glazing
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to toss strawberries

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Food processor or pastry cutter
  • Baking Sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Springform or tart pan
  • Brush for glazing

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse or whisk until evenly mixed.
  2. Add cold butter pieces to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized clumps.
  3. Press the dough evenly into a springform or tart pan, covering the bottom and a little up the sides. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth and compact the crust.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the strawberries by washing, hulling, and halving them. Toss the strawberries with lemon juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
  6. Once the crust is cool, arrange the strawberry halves neatly over the crust, starting from the outside edge and working inward for a beautiful presentation.
  7. Place the apricot jam in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and gently heat until runny. Brush the jam mixture over the strawberries to give them a shiny, glazed appearance.
  8. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes until shiny and slightly firm. Your strawberry almond tart is now ready to serve fresh and vibrant.

Notes

For an extra crunch, add sliced almonds to the crust before baking. You can also refrigerate the tart for an hour to let the flavors meld before serving.
