SOUR-CHERRY FRANGIPANE TART
An elegant French-inspired tart to showcase delicate sour cherries. Its almond-flour shortbread crust tastes nutty (and doesn't require any rolling) and the frangipane filling provides a silky canvas for the fruit. The finishing touches: confectioners' sugar and cups of hot coffee.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Pour melted butter over granulated sugar; stir to dissolve. Let cool 10 minutes. Whisk together both flours and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir into butter mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Press dough into prepared pan, making sides slightly thicker than bottom. Freeze until firm, 15 minutes. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until slightly puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
- Filling: Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, cream, almond extract, and granulated sugar. In another bowl, whisk together both flours and salt, then whisk into egg mixture until smooth. Arrange cherries in cooled crust in a single layer; gently pour batter around them. Bake, rotating once, until golden brown and just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let tart cool at least 30 minutes, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- To make the crust, pulse flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the yolk and pulse again until the dough forms clumps and curds.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface and very lightly and sparingly, knead just to incorporate dry ingredients.
- Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Freeze crust at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake blind for 15 minutes, remove the weight and let cool.
- For the filling, pulse almonds, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add butter and the whole egg and process until the mixture is smooth.
- Spread the mixture on the partially baked tart dough. Smooth the top and place the sour cherries.
- Reduce the temperature to 350° F and bake for another 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is just beginning to brown around the edges. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose ripe sour cherries: Ripe sour cherries will have a deep red color and be slightly soft to the touch. Avoid cherries that are bruised or have any signs of mold.
- Pit the cherries before using: To pit the cherries, use a cherry pitter or a small knife to remove the pit. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Make sure the butter is cold before creaming it with the sugar: This will help to create a light and fluffy frangipane filling.
- Don't overmix the frangipane filling: Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The tart is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center of the filling comes out clean.
- Let the tart cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
This sour cherry frangipane tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart crust is buttery and flaky, the frangipane filling is rich and creamy, and the sour cherries add a tart and tangy flavor.
