Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crust: Brown the Unsalted Butter in a saucepan until golden brown and fragrant. Cool completely. In a large bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour, Almond Flour, Granulated Sugar, and Fleur de Sel. Cut in the cooled browned butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add the Ice Water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Prepare the Blackberry Compote: In a saucepan, combine the Blackberries, Granulated Sugar, Balsamic Glaze, and Lemon Juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries have softened and released their juices, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool.
  4. Prepare the Frangipane Filling: In a bowl, cream together the softened Unsalted Butter and Granulated Sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the Egg, then stir in the Almond Flour and Almond Extract.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
  6. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the Frangipane Filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the cooled Blackberry Compote.
  7. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go. Sprinkle the crust with Toasted Sliced Almonds and Turbinado Sugar. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
