Ingredients:
1 1/2 Sticks of unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Almond extract
1/4 tsp Fine sea salt, Jacobsen Sea Salt
1 1/2 cups All purpose flour, almond flour/gluten free flour also works!
1/2 cup Jam, half a jar of Girl Meets Dirt Spoon Preserves, we like Island Plum
1/3 cup salted sliced almonds or any chopped nuts
Directions:
- Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla & almond extract, and salt and mix just until smooth. Scrape down the bowl, add the flour, and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together.
- Remove 1/2 cup of the dough and set aside in refrigerator. Press the remaining dough (with lightly floured fingertips) evenly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan or tart pan.
- Spread the jam over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Remove the remaining dough from the refrigerator and crumble it evenly over the jam. Sprinkle the almonds or nuts evenly over the top.
- Bake until light golden brown, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature before removing the pan sides. With a sharp knife, cut the tart into 8- 10 wedges and serve.
