Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter 1 ½ sticks 0r 12 tablespoons, any temperature
For the Filling:
- 1 ½ cups blanched skinless almonds (look for slivered or sliced almonds)
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons butter 1 ¼ sticks, any temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ - 2 cups cranberries use less for a milder, sweeter tart and more for a tangier, more pronounced cranberry flavor
Notes
- Make sure your almonds are fresh! If they've gone soft, re-crisp them in a 325 degree oven for 5-10 minutes, but be careful not to let them brown. You don't want toasted almonds.
- Don't bother cleaning out the food processor after making the crust even if there are still remnants of dough. The filling has the same ingredients so it won't have any affect.
- For a more tart cranberry pie, simply use more cranberries. For a sweeter, less sour pie, use less cranberries.
- Garnish the cranberry tart with a few sugared cranberries on top for an extra festive look!
