**For the Streusel Topping:**

- **All-Purpose Flour**: ½ cup (65 grams)

- **Brown Sugar**: ⅓ cup (70 grams), packed

- **Unsalted Butter**: ¼ cup (57 grams), cold and cubed

- **Rolled Oats**: ½ cup (45 grams)


#### Instructions


1. **Prepare the Pastry**:

   - In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   - Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least **30 minutes**.


2. **Preheat the Oven**:

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


3. **Roll Out the Pastry**:

   - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry to fit a tart pan (about 9 inches in diameter). Transfer to the pan and trim any excess pastry.


4. **Make the Almond Filling**:

   - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

   - Beat in the ground almonds, followed by the beaten eggs and almond extract until well combined.


5. **Assemble the Tart**:

   - Spread half of the almond filling over the pastry base. Scatter half of the blueberries on top.

   - Spoon the remaining almond filling over this layer and gently press in the remaining blueberries.


6. **Prepare the Streusel Topping**:

   - In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.

   - Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the tart.


7. **Bake**:

   - Bake in the preheated oven for about **45-50 minutes**, or until the filling is set and golden brown.


8. **Cool and Serve**:

   - Allow to cool in the pan for about **10 minutes**, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
