Ingredients

• 150 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Tapioca starch
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 3 medium Apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Apricot jam
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, then transfer it to the prepared tart pan, pressing the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess.

Step 6

Arrange the thinly sliced apples in concentric circles over the crust, starting from the outer edge and working your way inward. Overlap the slices slightly for a decorative look.

Step 7

Drizzle the apple slices with lemon juice and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly golden, and the crust is firm and golden brown.

Step 9

While the tart bakes, heat the apricot jam and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth.

Step 10

Once the tart is out of the oven, brush the melted apricot jam over the apples to create a shiny glaze.

Step 11

Cool the tart for at least 10-15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
