In a food processor, pulse flour, butter, and sugar until crumbly.

Add egg yolk and pulse until the dough starts to come together.

Press into a 9-inch tart pan, chill for 30 minutes, then pre-bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.

2️⃣ Prepare the Frangipane Filling:

Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.

Mix in almond flour, egg, flour, almond extract, and vanilla until smooth.

Spread evenly over the pre-baked tart crust.

3️⃣ Bake the Tart:

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until the filling is golden and set.

4️⃣ Arrange the Fresh Fruit & Glaze:

Let the tart cool, then arrange fresh fruit in a decorative pattern.

Warm apricot jam and brush over the fruit for a beautiful glossy finish.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

💡 Serving Tip: Pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!
