Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Tapioca starch
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and stir until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the tart pan, covering the bottom and sides. Prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the apple slices in a bowl with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the pre-baked crust, slightly overlapping them for a decorative design.
Bake the tart for 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly golden.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam and water over low heat until smooth. Brush the glaze generously over the warm apples.
Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the tart pan. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your heavenly gluten-free apple tart!
