Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 23 tablespoons ice cold water
  • 1 cup (100g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 34 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Tart Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and work into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Add remaining water if dry. Form dough into disk, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Frangipane: Cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in almond flour and all-purpose flour until smooth and spreadable.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing into edges and trimming excess. Prick bottom with fork.
  6. Spread almond frangipane evenly over crust.
  7. Arrange nectarine slices on top of frangipane in concentric circles, slightly overlapping.
  8. Drizzle honey over nectarines and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
  9. Bake tart on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until frangipane is puffed and golden and nectarines are caramelized.
  10. Cool tart completely in pan before removing rim to allow filling to set.

Notes

Do not overmix tart dough to keep it tender. Use room temperature eggs for fluffier frangipane. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let tart cool fully before slicing. For gluten-free, substitute flours accordingly. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and coconut yogurt.
