Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, icing sugar, and salt.
Add the solidified coconut oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to rub the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all the water.
Form the dough into a ball and flatten it slightly into a disc. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow it to rest.
Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thick.
Gently lay the rolled-out dough into a 23cm tart tin, pressing it into the edges. Trim any excess dough by rolling the rolling pin over the top of the tin.
Fill the pastry shell with parchment paper and baking weights or dried beans to blind bake.
Bake the tart shell in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and weights, and bake for another 5 minutes until just lightly golden.
Remove the tart shell from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 160°C (320°F).
In a small saucepan, gently heat the jam with the vanilla extract until it is smooth and easily spreadable.
Pour the warmed jam into the baked tart shell, spreading it evenly across the base.
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the jam is bubbling slightly.
Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove from the tart tin, slice, and serve.
Enjoy your dairy-free classic jam tart either warm or at room temperature!
