Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Ground almonds
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 100 g Vegan butter
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 6 Ripe plums
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the vegan butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough starts to come together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough chills, wash and pit the plums, then slice them into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add the mixture to the sliced plums and toss to coat evenly.
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator. Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the bottom and up the sides.
Trim any excess dough from the edges and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
Arrange the plum slices in a circular pattern on top of the prepared tart crust, starting from the outside and working your way towards the center.
Pour any remaining syrup mixture evenly over the arranged plums.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the plums are tender.
Allow the tart to cool at room temperature before serving. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vegan ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
