100 minutes
Tart with apples, cherries, and marzipan is a harmonious blend of airy dough, delicate marzipan, and juicy fruits. This dessert has roots in European culinary traditions where sweet pies with nuts and fruits were valued for their rich flavor and aroma. The sweetness of apples and cherries is complemented by the nutty depth of marzipan, while the light tartness of the fruits balances the overall sweetness. The sherry-soaked tart acquires noble flavor nuances, transforming into a refined treat. Its texture—crispy dough, soft marzipan, and juicy fruit filling—makes each bite special. Perfect as a dessert with a cup of aromatic coffee or as an elegant finish to dinner. Almond flakes add an exquisite touch to complete this gastronomic symphony.
