Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Beat the almond paste and sugar until finely crumbled, then beat in the butter until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the flour, vanilla, and salt.
- Spread in the crust, scatter the sliced almonds over the top, and bake until golden and set in the center, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Cool on a rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Tips
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Tahitian (floral, cherry, anise), or Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic). Any pure vanilla works.
