Time 1h

Yield Serves: 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

75g light muscovado sugar
7-9 large firm plums, roughly 500g in total, halved, stones removed
100g marzipan
1 x 320g pack ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry

Steps:

  • You will need a 23cm round, fixed-base cake tin, at least 5cm deep. Don't be tempted to use a loose-bottomed cake tin or a springform tin or you will lose all the juices. It is a good idea to bake the tarte on a baking tray in case the juices bubble over the top of the tin. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7.
  • Sprinkle the sugar over the base of the tin in an even layer. Arrange the plums on top of the sugar, cut-side down.
  • Roll out the marzipan to a round slightly smaller than the tin and place on top of the plums.
  • Roll out the pastry just a little bit bigger so that it is the width of the cake tin. Place the cake tin on top of the pastry. Using the tin as a guide, cut around the tin to make a circle, then lay the pastry over the plums and tuck the edges of the pastry down around the fruit. Make a small cross in the top of the pastry to let the steam escape during baking.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden and the plums are tender. Loosen the edges of the tarte then turn out on to a plate and serve.

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

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, 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.)
