French Almond Frangipane Tart (Tarte Frangipane aux Amandes)
This French Almond Frangipane Tart tastes like it came from a fancy little Parisian patisserie. No one has to know how easily and quickly it comes together!
The name itself sounds so fancy, don't you agree? French Almond Frangipane Tart. The name gives me visions of the charming little patisseries and their lovely proprietors scattered throughout Paris and every other French city, town and even the tinest of villages.
