Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C and butter a 24 cm round tin.
  2. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, then work in the cold butter cut into pieces until the texture is sandy.
  3. Add the egg and ground almonds, gather the dough without overworking it, and press two thirds of it into the bottom of the tin.
  4. Spread the jam over the base, leaving a 1 cm border free.
  5. For the crumble, rub together the flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon with your fingertips until you get crumbs.
  6. Scatter the crumble over the jam and bake for 35 minutes, until the top is golden. Let it cool slightly before unmoulding.

Variations and tips

Apple version. Replace the jam with 3 grated apples cooked for 5 minutes with 1 tablespoon of sugar and some cinnamon.

Using what's easy to find. Raspberry jam is available almost everywhere; the ground almonds can be replaced with 50 g of extra flour.
