Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 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 Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking both the crust and the topped tart.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and granulated sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture has a crumbly texture resembling coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and mix gently until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.
  3. Form Crust: Press the dough evenly into a tart pan, making sure the edges are smooth and the base is compact to hold the filling properly during baking.
  4. Bake Crust: Place the tart shell in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes to partially cook and set the crust.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Evenly spread the fresh cranberries and sliced almonds over the tart base, then drizzle the honey over the top to add sweetness and glaze.
  6. Final Bake: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cranberries have softened.
  7. Cool: Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving to ensure the filling sets well.

Notes

  • Use cold butter for a flakier crust texture.
  • Fresh cranberries provide the best tart flavor; frozen can be used but thaw and drain excess moisture.
  • Honey drizzle adds natural sweetness; substitute with maple syrup if desired.
  • Allow the tart to cool completely for cleaner slices and better flavor development.
