Instructions
1-Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle in ice water and pulse until the dough holds together. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.

2-Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim the excess.

3-Make the Filling: Combine almond meal, sugar, butter, egg, almond extract, and flour until smooth. Spread this frangipane evenly over the prepared crust.

4-Bake the Base: Bake for 15 minutes or until the frangipane is set and golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
-
5-Prepare the Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
-
6-Assemble the Tart: Pour the cherry mixture over the frangipane layer, spreading it evenly.
