Ingredients for Thin Apple Tart with Almond Cream

Method

Directions for Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Tart Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Almond Cream

    In another bowl, mix the almond meal, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  4. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle to fit your tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and trim the edges.

  6. 6

    Add Almond Cream

    Spread the almond cream evenly over the tart shell.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Apples

    Core and thinly slice the apples. Toss them with lemon juice and cinnamon to prevent browning.

  8. 8

    Assemble the Tart

    Arrange the apple slices on top of the almond cream in a decorative pattern.

  9. 9

    Add Almond Slivers

    Sprinkle almond slivers over the apples for added texture and flavor.

  10. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tart is golden brown.

  11. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
