Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 4 cups Fresh or frozen pitted cherries
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.33 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg and continue to mix until the dough comes together. Press it evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure to cover the sides.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, stevia or erythritol, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.

Step 6

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the cherry filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading evenly.

Step 8

Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the filling is set and bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the tart to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. For best results, refrigerate for an additional hour to allow the filling to fully set.

Step 10

Slice and serve the tart as is, or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream if desired.
