Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
- 6-8 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse to mix.
- Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- While pulsing, gradually add 3-4 tablespoons of ice water until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss the sliced plums with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until well coated.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
- Arrange the plum slices in the tart shell, then sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the plums are tender.
- Allow the tart to cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
