Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 105 grams Butter, unsalted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 pieces Medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 120 grams Unsweetened apple sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, 30 grams of erythritol, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix dry ingredients.
Melt 85 grams of butter in a small bowl in the microwave or a saucepan.
Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, making sure to evenly cover the bottom and sides of the pan.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork several times to prevent bubbles during baking.
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until it begins to set and slightly golden.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and remaining erythritol to evenly coat.
In a small saucepan, heat 20 grams of butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Add the unsweetened apple sauce and cook for about 5 minutes until it is warmed and blended with the butter.
Spread the apple sauce mixture evenly on the pre-baked crust.
Arrange the apple slices on top of the apple sauce in a circular pattern, starting from the outside and working your way in, slightly overlapping each slice.
Bake the tart in the oven for another 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tart pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the tart from the pan, slice it, and serve warm or at room temperature.
