Best Sour Cherry Frangipane Tart Recipes

SOUR-CHERRY FRANGIPANE TART

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.

SOUR CHERRY FRANGIPANE TART

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.
