A French tart is not an exceptionally flirty Parisian woman, but a delectable pastry often filled with almond paste and topped with fruit.
Since France is so well known for wine, I decided to use grapes to top this particular tart. And what a fabulous combo, if I do say so myself. The grapes add the perfect balance of sweet and, well … tart.
This Gluten Free French Grape Tart Recipe is fun and flirty with just a bit of attitude that teases your taste buds, so maybe that first definition is not so far off. In any case, it’s a lovely pastry, perfect for an elegant dessert or afternoon tea party.
Recipe Notes: You can use a pie crust mix or make your own, look at this recipe here for Perfect Pie Crust. Make sure your almond paste is in fact gluten free – not all are. I used Wholesome! organic sugar and powdered sugar in this recipe and, as always, make sure to use only pure extracts.

This sounds delightful. Plan on putting this on the menu for our next dinner party!
Personally I love grape. So when I see this recipe then then I try it with full of interest. It’s so yummy food. But Is there any alternative of sea salt?
Iva,
Kosher salt, or half the amount of table salt.
xo,

Best to bake at 350? There was no mention of temp.
Thank you :-)
Oops! Sorry about that. Yes, 350. I’ve corrected the instructions. Thank you for pointing that out.
Thank you for confirming, Carol.
The tart is delicious! I have shared with my family so they can all enjoy it.
