Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces or decorative batons
  • 1 tablespoon honey or apricot jam (optional, for glaze)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • In a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough comes together.
  • Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Chill the crust for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix almond flour, sugar, flour, egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Spread the almond filling mixture evenly over the chilled tart crust.
  • Arrange the rhubarb pieces decoratively on top of the filling.
  • Bake the tart for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
  • Optional: Warm honey or apricot jam and brush over the top for a glossy finish.
  • Cool the tart completely before slicing and serving.
