Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 grams coconut oil
- 50 ml cold water
- 30 grams almond meal
- 500 grams fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add the coconut oil to the flour mixture and blend with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring lightly with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
Step 4
Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 23 cm (9-inch) tart pan.
Step 6
Press the dough into the pan, trimming the edges. Prick the base with a fork and sprinkle the almond meal evenly over the base.
Step 7
In a large bowl, combine the pitted cherries, lemon zest, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Toss to coat the cherries well.
Step 8
Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the prepared tart crust.
Step 9
Brush the edges of the crust with almond milk for a golden finish.
Step 10
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Step 11
Allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
