Ingredients

• 12 pieces Pitted dates
• 1.5 cups Walnuts
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 pieces Apples (such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

To prepare the crust, place the pitted dates, 1.5 cups of walnuts, almond flour, coconut oil, and salt into a food processor. Blend until the mixture is sticky and holds together when pressed.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the crust up the sides of the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 5

Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the prepared crust, layering them slightly as needed. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top.

Step 6

Drizzle the maple syrup over the apples and walnuts for a touch of sweetness.

Step 7

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the tart pan.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
