Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, and cinnamon.

Add unsalted butter and mix until crumbly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and combine until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out two-thirds of the dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan.

Press the rolled dough into the tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides.

Spread raspberry jam evenly over the dough in the tart pan.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern over the jam.

Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the lattice.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow to cool before serving.
