Whether you’re baking for Thanksgiving, or just want to use up your apple-picking stash, this Everyday Apple Tart from TikTok star Kathleen Ashmore is an instant classic (that happens to be gluten-free!).
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup blanched almond flour
- 2/3 cup Gluten Free all purpose flour
- 4 tbsp cane sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Juice from 1/2 of a lemon
- 1 1/2 lbs tart, crisp apples such as Jonathon, Empire, or Golden Delicious
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/8 tsp Kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the crust:
-
In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, almond and all purpose flours, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, vanilla, and salt. It should look like wet sand.
-
Press crust mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, covering the bottom and coming up the sides of the pan. I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to do this.
-
Place crust in the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Prepare filling and bake:
-
Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees F.
-
Prepare the apples by cutting off both cheeks (halves) of the apples on either side of the core. Each piece will have a flat side to place on the cutting board.
-
Lay them flat, and one at a time, make thin slices through the apple vertically, holding the shape together as you go.
-
Place each apple cheek onto the tart and fan out slightly, revealing a bit of the apple flesh.
-
Remove tart pan from the freezer.
-
Cover the entire base of the tart with the apples, filling in spaces with apples, until you barely see the bottom. Don’t stress over making it perfect, it’ll be a bit random and beautiful.
-
Sprinkle topping evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice then dot evenly with the cubed butter.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until bubbling and browned.
-
Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes, and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
