butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds richness with fewer saturated fats.

raspberry jam

🥗Healthier: sugar-free jam

Sugar-free jam reduces sugar content while maintaining flavor.

Roast hazelnuts and almonds, then grind them finely in a food processor to make homemade hazelnut or almond flour.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, room temperature butter, granulated sugar, ground hazelnuts, le kuhan spice, and salt.

Using a paddle attachment, mix until a soft and smooth dough forms.

Press some of the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch pie tin.

Spread a generous amount of jam (apricot or raspberry) over the pressed dough.

Use a piping bag with a large tip to pipe the remaining dough over the jam in a pattern.

Optionally, create a rim around the edge and place sliced almonds on top.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and bake for 35 minutes.
