Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Topping

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Finishing

  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine the thawed cranberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and sliced almonds. Mix well to coat the fruit and nuts evenly.
  2. Assemble Tart Base: Transfer the cranberry mixture into a greased 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Spread it evenly and place the tart pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips during baking.
  3. Mix Topping Batter: In another small bowl, beat together the eggs, melted butter, almond extract, and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in the flour just until the batter is moistened; it will be thick.
  4. Top Filling: Spread the batter evenly over the cranberry and almond mixture in the tart pan, covering the filling completely.
  5. Bake the Tart: Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the topping is set and golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the top with confectioners’ sugar. Refrigerate any leftovers to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Using frozen cranberries? Be sure to thaw completely and drain off any excess liquid before using to avoid a soggy tart.
  • The tart pan with a removable bottom makes it easier to release the tart without damaging its shape.
  • You can substitute sliced almonds with chopped walnuts or pecans for a different nutty flavor.
  • Make sure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Leftover tart tastes delicious when served chilled or gently warmed.
