Was short on time and used store bought pastry and sprinkled some sugar into it and the lemon zest. It worked just fine. Also skipped the jam glaze. It was a 5 star dessert right out of my kitchen. Absolutely awesome.

Easy as can be. Wonderful crust. I didn't find it overly sweet. Just right in my opinion. A very nice way to use fresh figs. I had a couple of issues though. The crust sprung a few leaks when it was ten minutes away from being finished baking. So in order to not lose all the filling, I had to prop a few ramekins against the leaks to hold them closed. Also, I think I would cut down on the amount of almond filling as it began to bubble up and over the figs, ruining the nice look of them.

As a dessert lover, the criticisms I would make are the followings:
The dough was delicious but on top of that too many flavors were mixed together(almond paste, honey, apricot jam, vanilla, figs. They all got lost and ended up by just tasting something sweet with no distinct flavor at all. With less flavors(maybe just the figs and almond paste this dessert would be a fine success!

I loooved this recipe! It was the first tart I ever made and the crust was to die for. My mom got a whole bunch of figs from a friend and I had to find a way to use this. Perfect! I used guava jam (all I had for the glaze.

This was the best tart I have made. The rustic dough was amazing and easier than molding to a tart pan - and turned out better than all others I have tried. This was an absolute hit at the dinner table last night and I will be making this again for a block party here in my neighborhood later this week!

This makes a lovely tart. When I found fresh figs from the Central Valley of California I knew it was time to try this recipe. I was not disappointed! The filling does not overpower the delicate fig flavor. My crust was light & flakey. The only change I would make is to add lemon zest to the tart filling as well as the crust.

This is absolutely delicious! The crust is to die for. I used kiwi instead of figs because they arent in season right now. The textures all worked perfectly together. Next time im gonna put walnuts in. It would be delicious with peaches or pears.
