Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons chilled whipping cream
1 large egg yolk
Crumble
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup (packed) almond paste (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Filling
2 1/4 pounds plums (about 12), halved, pitted, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend first four ingredients in processor until nuts are finely ground. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cream and yolk. Blend, using on/off turns, until dough comes together. Press over bottom and up sides of 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Pierce all over with fork. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake crust until golden, pressing with back of fork every 5 minutes if crust bubbles, about 25 minutes. Transfer crust to rack; cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Blend flour, almond paste and sugar in processor until almond paste is finely ground. Add butter and blend, using on/off turns, until coarse crumbs form. Transfer crumble to bowl; mix in almonds.
  • Combine all ingredients in medium bowl; toss to blend well.
  • Sprinkle 3/4 cup crumble over cooled crust. Top with plums. Sprinkle with remaining crumble.
  • Bake tart until filling bubbles thickly and top is golden, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Push up pan bottom to release tart. Cool. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

I was a bit skeptical about the marzipan crumble topping, but I'm so glad I tried it! It added a wonderful flavor and texture to the tart. The tart itself was also very easy to make, and it came out perfectly.
