Ingredients
sliced natural almonds
2 cups (sliced)
sugar
2/3 cup (granulated)
cold unsalted butter
5/8 cup (cut into pieces (1 1/4 sticks))
all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups (sifted)
salt
1 1/4 teaspoons (kosher or sea salt)
beaten eggs
2 tablespoons (lightly beaten)
raspberry jam
1 cup (stirred until loosened)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a food processor, finely grind 1 3/4 cups of sliced natural almonds with 2/3 cup of sugar until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sliced almonds for topping later.
3
Add 5/8 cup of cold unsalted butter (cut into pieces), 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, and 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt to the processor. Process until the mixture resembles a sandy texture.
4
Transfer 1 cup of the almond mixture to the bowl with the reserved 1/4 cup of sliced almonds and mix well. To the remaining mixture, add 2 tablespoons of beaten eggs and pulse until the dough starts to clump together.
5
Press the dough mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
6
While the crust is baking, stir 1 cup of raspberry jam in a small bowl to loosen it up.
7
Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and spread the raspberry jam evenly over the bottom.
8
Rub the reserved almond mixture between your palms to create small clumps, and evenly sprinkle it over the jam layer.
9
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the almond topping is golden brown.
10
Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, run a knife along the edges to loosen and carefully remove the tart from the pan.
