Fruit Frangipane Tarte

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the puff pastry slightly and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edges with a sharp knife.
3. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Spread the frangipane mixture evenly inside the scored border of the pastry.
5. Arrange the fresh fruits on top of the frangipane in an appealing pattern.
6. Warm the apricot jam for a few seconds in the microwave until brushable. Gently brush it over the fruits for a glossy finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry edges are golden and the frangipane is set.
8. While the tarte is baking, toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant.
9. Once baked, remove the tarte from the oven, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top, and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
10. Let the tarte cool slightly before slicing and serving.
