Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (113 g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup super fine almond flour (100 g), blanched
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (130 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup almond paste, packed (100 g)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (38 g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (84 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (16 g)
  • 1 nectarine, sliced into wedges
  • Sliced almonds (for topping)
  • Turbinado sugar (for topping)
  • Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the tart shell: In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine with the butter mixture. Press the dough into a greased tart pan and refrigerate.
  3. Make the frangipane filling: Beat almond paste, sugar, and butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until combined.
  4. Take the chilled tart shell out of the fridge, spread the frangipane evenly, and arrange the nectarine slices on top. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and turbinado sugar.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until lightly golden and set. Allow cooling before removing from the pan.
  6. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Notes

For a rich flavor, consider adding a drizzle of melted chocolate or using other fruits like peaches or plums.
