Tart and bright cranberries are baked in an almond paste frangipane filling all held together in a buttery crust. We particularly love thick wedges of this tart topped with a dollop of lightly sweetened crème fraîche for an exta decademt finish.

Roll dough until just larger than the shape of the pan and gently lift to fit pan. Press dough into flutes of pan and trim edges with a sharp knife. Using tines of a fork, pierce bottom of tart shell liberally to prevent air bubbles from forming. STEP 5 Using a mixer, beat 1/4 cup sugar, almond paste, and eggs in a large bowl until combined. Add crème fraîche, butter and orange zest. Whisk 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl. Add flour mixture to filling mixture until blended.
