Imagine a Christmas dessert that is both simple to create and stunning to present. This apple tart features a tender, gluten-free crust made with almond flour, offering a delightful nutty base for the creamy frangipane filling. The frangipane, a luscious blend of sweetener, butter, and almond flour, creates a rich and moist layer that perfectly complements the apples.
The tart is generously filled with thinly sliced apples, arranged artfully to create a visually appealing dessert. A sprinkle of granulated sweetener adds a touch of sweetness that enhances the natural flavors of the fruit. For the best flavor, consider using a tart apple variety like Pink Lady or Fuji, as their slight acidity balances the sweetness of the filling and adds complexity to the overall taste.
To ensure a perfectly baked crust, take a couple of pieces of foil and fold them to create protective shields. Wrap the edges of the tart crust with these shields to prevent them from burning during baking. During the final minutes of baking, keep a close eye on the crust.
If it has reached a lovely golden brown color, leave the foil in place. If it still needs more color, remove the foil for the last five minutes to allow it to develop a beautiful golden hue. The crust should be a consistent golden brown, indicating it is fully baked and adding a touch of rustic charm to the dessert.
The frangipane filling should be puffed and golden, signaling that it is cooked through and ready to be enjoyed. This tart is surprisingly satisfying, even when portioned into 16 servings, making it a perfect dessert to share with family and friends during the festive season. Enjoy a slice with a warm beverage or as a delightful finale to a satisfying meal.
