Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 3mm thick. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch tart tin, pressing the dough into the edges. Trim any excess dough and prick the base with a fork. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill it with baking weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Let the tart shell cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, cream together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Spread the frangipane mixture evenly over the cooled tart shell.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frangipane is puffed and golden. Allow the tart to cool completely before decorating.
Slice the strawberries in half and arrange them along with the raspberries on top of the cooled tart in a decorative pattern.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Brush the glaze over the berries to give them a glossy finish.
Serve the tart at room temperature and enjoy!
