Figs are a great source of both calcium and potassium! Ingredients Tart Crust ¼ cup blanched almonds ¾ cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into piece ¼ cup sugar ½ teaspoon fine salt Filling ½ cup blanched almonds 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), cut into pieces ⅓ cup sugar 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract ½ teaspoon fine salt ½ pound figs, stems removed and halved 2 tablespoons apricot jam Directions Make the crust: pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely chopped, 30 to 40 seconds. Add the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the dough starts to come together, 1 to 2 minutes. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days. Make the filling: heat oven to 375° F with the rack in the lowest position. Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely chopped, 30 to 40 seconds. Add the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and salt. Process until the mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the chilled crust on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the filling into the crust and smooth with an offset spatula. Top with the figs, cut-side up. Bake until the crust and custard are golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Combine the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon hot water. Brush top of tart with the apricot glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
