To make this Jam-Filled Linzer Tart, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

- 1 cup jam (raspberry, strawberry, or apricot)
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Once the dough has chilled, roll out one half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom to cut out the dough. Place the dough in the tart pan and press it into the bottom and up the sides.
Spread the jam evenly over the crust. Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the jam.
Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving.
This Jam-Filled Linzer Tart is a perfect dessert for any occasion. It is a combination of sweet and buttery flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more. The appearance of the tart is beautiful with the lattice pattern on top of the jam. The taste is rich and satisfying, making it a perfect dessert to serve after a meal.
