Summer cherry tart

My daughter and I spend this summer in the Polish countryside. We enjoyed fresh, home grown fruit and veg; simply delicious! When the cherry season started, there were so many, that I was creating many dishes to satisfy our taste and make most of it! One of them was summer cherry tart!

Summer cherry tart ingredients:

• 1kg sweet or sour pitted cherries (fresh or frozen when making them out of season)

• 200g almond flour

• 4x table spoons of GF oat flakes

• 4x tablespoons of coconut sugar

• 2x teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1x tablespoon potato starch (optional)

• 2x tablespoons coconut oil (cold pressed, unrefined)

Here is what to do:

• Prepare your cake case with baking, non stick paper. I used 30cm diameter form

• Place cherries in a mixing bowl, add 2x tablespoons of coconut sugar, potato starch (if you're using) and mix with hands until cherries are covered in sugar and starch evenly; add more sugar if you prefer it to be sweeter

• Place cherries in baking case, then place it aside

• Put the rest of ingredients in another mixing bowl and mix well with hands until dough is loose but crumbly. Add more sugar if you find in not sweet enough ;) Sprinkle dough evenly over cherries

• Bake in the oven at 180 C for 50 min. Leave cherry tart to cool down and settle. Serve in room temperature

Tips for the tart:

• Use more cherries in the tart if you have a big family to feed, it'll be thicker, and have more portions to serve

• Why not try mix of frozen berries in Winter months or thickly sliced apples, different fruit will give amazing summer taste to the tart too!
