1 cup ground almonds
8 large Plums, raw

Steps:

Yield Makes 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Almond Crust
Filling
1 cup slivered blanched almonds
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon dark rum
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
5 large plums, halved, pitted
Glaze
2 tablespoons apricot jam
2 teaspoons brandy

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out crust dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer dough to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Gently press dough into tart pan; trim excess. Freeze crust 15 minutes.
  • Place tart pan on baking sheet. Bake crust 10 minutes; pierce with toothpick if crust bubbles. Continue to bake until crust is pale golden, about 12 minutes. Cool crust on baking sheet 15 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For filling:
  • Blend all ingredients except plums in processor until almonds are finely ground. Spread frangipane filling in prepared crust.
  • Place plum halves, skin side up, on work surface. Cut 1 plum half into thin parallel slices, keeping plum intact (do not cut through end). Press gently to fan slices. Repeat with remaining plum halves. Place fanned plums, skin side up, atop frangipane; press gently to anchor.
  • Bake tart on baking sheet until frangipane is puffed and golden and plums are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove tart from baking sheet; transfer to rack.
  • For glaze:
  • Stir apricot jam and brandy in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until mixture boils. Strain glaze into small bowl. Brush glaze generously over plums. Cool tart completely. (Tart can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Push pan bottom up to free tart from pan. Cut tart into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy plums for the best flavor. If your plums are not ripe, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple.
  • To make sure the frangipane is smooth and creamy, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding the eggs.
  • Don't overmix the frangipane batter, as this will make it tough.
  • Bake the tart until the frangipane is set and the plums are starting to soften.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving, as this will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This plum frangipane tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart plums pair perfectly with the rich and creamy frangipane filling, and the flaky crust adds a perfect touch of texture. With its beautiful presentation and delicious flavor, this tart is sure to impress your guests.
