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.

Do not over mix. STEP 3 Mix egg yolk and water in small bowl. Add to processor; pulse to combine until dough comes together. STEP 4 Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, patting into a disk. 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.
