Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup mild olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces frozen peach slices, thawed
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed

Method

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup ground almonds, cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the oils, milk and vanilla bean paste. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and mix gently with a fork, just enough to dampen; just so it comes together. Mixture will be crumbly. Transfer the dough to an 9-inch tart pan and use your hands to pat out the dough so it covers the bottom of the pan, pushing it up the sides to meet the edge....I didn't push mine up to the top rim.
  • In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the butter. Using your fingers, pinch the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly, with a mixture of fine granules and tiny pebbles.
  • Arrange the peaches in a circle starting from the outside to the center. Add the blueberries on top and fill in where there is space. Sprinkle the pebbly butter mixture over top. Build it up and cover the peaches and blueberries as if there are covered in a blanket of snow.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until shiny, thick bubbles begin enveloping the fruit and the crust is slightly brown. (I couldn't see the crust as it wasn't to the top of the pan but smelled great.) Cool on a rack. Serve warm or room temperature, with scoop of vanilla ice cream.
