Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 3 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 large Egg, beaten (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend it until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough holds together when pressed. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit the tart pan. Line the pan with the dough, pressing it gently into the corners and trimming any excess. Prick the base with a fork.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until well coated.
Arrange the apples evenly in the prepared crust. Optionally, brush the top of the apples with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free apple tart slice!
