Ingredients
- 4 medium, sliced 1/2 inch thick ripe peaches
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tbsp divided granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1 large, beaten egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar.
