Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Cup all-purpose flour
• 0.33 Cup slivered almonds
• 0.25 Cup brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 Tablespoons (tbsp) heavy cream
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) all-purpose flour

Steps

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, beat 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 0.25 cups of white sugar until creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
3. Form Tart Shells: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Press each piece into the bottom and up the sides of a 12-cup muffin tin, ensuring an even thickness.
4. Make Almond Topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.33 cups of slivered almonds, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir in 1.5 tablespoons of heavy cream and 2 teaspoons of flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil and thicken, about 10 minutes.
5. Fill Tart Shells: Evenly distribute the almond mixture among the prepared tart shells.
6. Bake Tarts: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake until the tops and crust edges are light golden brown, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the tarts to cool slightly in the muffin tin for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully run a butter knife around each tart to loosen, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
