Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Add the salt and mix well.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until it forms a dough.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine fresh blueberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and maple syrup. Toss until blueberries are coated evenly.
Pour the blueberry mixture into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly.
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the blueberries are bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, remove the tart from the pan. Slice and serve as desired.
