Scale
- 1 cup oat flour

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt

- 1 tbsp almond milk
- 2 cups fresh California cherries (pitted & halved)
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Incorporate the almond milk and mix until the dough starts to come together.

- Blind bake the crust by covering it with parchment paper and pie weights, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and bake for another 5–7 minutes until lightly golden.
- Prepare the cherry filling by mixing the halved cherries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, and lemon juice.
- Fill the cooled crust with the cherry mixture and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
- Bake the tart for an additional 25–30 minutes until the cherries are bubbling and the top is lightly toasted.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
