Frequently Asked Questions
What can I substitute for ground almonds in this recipe?
If you don't have ground almonds, you can use almond flour or meal as a direct substitute. If nut allergies are a concern, try using an equal amount of ground oats or sunflower seed flour.
How should I store the almond tart after baking?
Once the almond tart has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
My tart came out too dry. What might have caused this?
Overbaking is the most common reason for a dry tart. Make sure to check for doneness at the 25-minute mark by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. If you find your oven runs hot, you may need to lower the temperature or reduce baking time.
