Ingredients

8 servings

For the crust

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp powdered sugar
¼ tsp salt
6 tbsp vegan butter, cold and cubed
3–4 tbsp ice water

For the frangipane

1 cup almond flour
½ cup powdered sugar
6 tbsp vegan butter, softened
3 tbsp aquafaba
1 tsp almond extract
¼ tsp salt

For the topping

¼ cup sliced almonds
2 tbsp apricot jam
1 tsp water

For serving

powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse twice to mix. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and pulse 8–10 times until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
2
Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the dough just comes together when pressed between your fingers — it should hold without crumbling but not feel wet or sticky. Turn the dough out, press it into a flat disc, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
