Instructions
 

Prepare the pâte sablée crust.

  • In a large bowl, mix butter with powdered sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add egg and continue mixing until well combined and creamy.
  • Gradually incorporate the ground almonds and flour.
  • Make sure you don’t overwork the dough.
  • Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, shape it into a disc and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap until it's about 12 in (30cm) in diameter.
  • Press the dough onto the bottom and edges of a 8 or 9 inch (23cm) tart pan. Cut the excess dough.
  • Refrigerate or freeze for about 30 minutes before baking.

Prepare the apple filling.

  • Meanwhile, leave the apples with their skin on and cut them around the core and get 4 pieces for each apple (each piece with a flat side). Cut each piece into thin slices, holding the shape of each piece.
  • Remove the crust from the freezer and prick the dough with a fork.
  • Spread the apricot jam evenly.
  • Arrange the apple slices over the apricot jam, while fanning the slices slightly.
  • Sprinkle the apple with sugar and cinnamon. Add butter cubes on top of the apples. Spread some almond flakes.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. If the crust browns too fast cover with aluminum foil.
  • Serve while still a bit warm with salted caramel sauce, whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
