Chef's tip

Sprinkle the almond flour under the fruit before baking: it will absorb the plum juices as it bakes and keep the crust from getting soggy, while adding a delicious flavor!

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Baked tart: Up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven without thawing. Unbaked tart: Up to 3 months, well wrapped. Bake without thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Baked tart: 2 to 3 days maximum in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Dough made the day before: wrapped in plastic and refrigerated. Fully assembling the tart ahead risks making the dough soggy.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven: 150°C, 10-15 min for crispness. Air fryer: 140°C, 5-8 min. Microwave: Makes the crust soft, avoid.

Variations

Dust with powdered sugar.
Use quetsche plums or other ripe plums.
Add lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

Mistakes to avoid

Filling all the way to the edge: leave a border of about 4 cm to fold over.
Completely covering the fruit: fold the edges over without covering the fruit entirely.
Skipping the egg wash: brush the edges with beaten egg.

Frequently asked questions

Comment faire une tarte rustique aux prunes ?

Make a dough with flour, butter, sugar, salt, and cold water, roll it into a 30 cm circle, sprinkle with almonds, arrange the plums marinated in brown sugar, fold over the edges, brush with egg, and bake for 40 minutes at 180°C.

Pourquoi une tarte sans moule ?

The tart is shaped by folding the dough edges toward the center: the pastry holds in the fruit juices, with no pan, for a rustic look.

À quoi sert la poudre d'amandes ?

Sprinkled over the center of the dough, it absorbs some of the plum juices as it bakes. Then arrange the plums, leaving a 4 cm border.

Comment mariner les prunes ?

Wash, pit, and halve the plums, mix them with 40 g of brown sugar and the lemon juice, then let them marinate while you prepare the dough.
