Almond, Apricot, and Cherry Tart image

Categories     Dessert     Bake     Apricot     Cherry     Almond     Summer     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole almonds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
Filling
2 ounces crumbled almond paste (about 3 packed tablespoons)
6 tablespoons sugar, divided
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
3 tablespoons cake flour
9 medium apricots (about 22 ounces), pitted, quartered
20 cherries, pitted, halved

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend first 3 ingredients in processor until almonds are finely ground. Using electric mixer, beat butter and powdered sugar in medium bowl until blended. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture; beat until blended. Gather dough into ball; flatten into square. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 10-inch square. Transfer to 9-inch square tart pan with removable bottom; press crust over bottom and up sides of pan. Trim any excess dough. Pierce crust all over with fork; chill at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep chilled.)
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat almond paste and 4 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until fine meal forms, about 3 minutes. Add butter; beat until almost smooth. Add egg; beat until smooth. Beat in flour. Spread filling evenly in unbaked crust. Arrange apricot quarters on sides with rounded side up in rows atop filling. Place cherry halves between apricots. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over fruit.
  • Bake tart 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Bake until crust is golden and filling is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes longer. Cool tart in pan on rack at least 1 hour. Serve tart warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. A cherry pitter can be used to make this task easier.
  • If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a paring knife to cut around the cherry pit and remove it.
  • Use a food processor to grind the almonds into a fine powder. This will help to incorporate them into the tart dough and filling.
  • Don't overwork the tart dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the tart dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the tart bakes evenly.
  • Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet cherries and almond filling is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
