Description
A delightful tart that captures the essence of summer with the tartness of cherries and nuttiness of almond flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour (finely ground, packed)
- 1 cup oat flour (gluten-free, if necessary)
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil (melted)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 cups jarred, pitted sour cherries plus 1 1/4 cups juice from the jar (1–19 oz jar)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon beaten egg white
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a tart pan (9-inch works great) with a little butter or coconut oil.
- Combine the almond flour and oat flour in a mixing bowl. Pour in the melted butter (or coconut oil) and maple syrup. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs and starts to form a dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of your tart pan. Poke a few holes in the bottom and chill in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine the sour cherries, juice, and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of cold water.
- Add the almond extract to the thickened mixture.
- Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Brush the top of the tart with the beaten egg white for a glossy finish.
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
