Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Ground almonds
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 3 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Honey
- 100 milliliters Skim milk
- 30 grams Slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground almonds, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the unsweetened applesauce and cold water to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more cold water, one teaspoon at a time.
Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring it is even and reaches up to the sides.
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the almond extract, honey, and skim milk into the beaten egg whites until well incorporated.
Pour the filling mixture into the partially baked tart shell.
Sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly over the top of the filling.
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the slivered almonds are lightly golden.
Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Enjoy your delicious and low-fat treat!
