Plum Frangipane Tart

Plum Frangipane Tart

Plum Frangipane Tart

Tarts sound so fancy but in actuality they’re super simple to make. Especially if you start out with a prepared pie crust. It’s not that I don’t know how to make my own, because I do, but sometimes a girl needs a shortcut. Well unless you’re Wonder Woman and then you probably don’t need any. I however do, thank you.

I found gorgeous black plums at the market and knew I wanted to turn them into a deliciously decadent dessert. If you can’t get your hands on plums, peaches would be lovely as well.

Nature Valley Granola
Frangipane is  a filling made from or flavored with almonds. This filling can be used in a variety of ways including cakes, tarts and other assorted pastries. We’ve tweaked this a little today by including finely crushed Nature Valley™ Protein Granola. 1/2 cup Nature Valley™ Protein Granola provides 10 grams of protein and 22-26 grams of whole grain, at least 48 grams of whole grain recommended daily.

We like to keep granola in the house to add to a little extra oomph here and there. It’s great sprinkled on top of ice cream, on top of yogurt (hello perfect parfaits), to make into bars, to sprinkle on salads or just for snacking! It’s not just for breakfast people.

We like to serve our tarts warm but I wouldn’t turn down a cold slice either. Just saying. Now who wants a slice?

Baci!

    They do sound fancy, because they are!!!! Your is beautiful. I love the filling you chose. Reminds me of a plum dessert from my childhood that I am going to dig around and find the recipe for. I had to pin this beauty.

    O.M.G. at the airport famished and this just sent me over the edge. One of the handful tarts I like is this plum frangipane one. Yum!

    Tarts also impress because of the pretty fruit lined on top. Love the addition of granola in this.
