Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt.
3.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4.
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
5.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
6.
In a separate bowl, gently toss blackberries with almond flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon zest.
7.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
8.
Spoon the blackberry mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
9.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed.
10.
Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with slivered almonds (if using).
11.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
12.
Let cool slightly before serving. Top with a dollop of crème fraîche.

Chef's Tips

Make sure your butter is very cold for a flaky crust.

If the crust is browning too quickly, tent it with foil.

Feel free to use other berries or fruits based on what's in season.

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
