When it comes to French apple tart, there are few things more tempting than a perfectly baked crust filled with sweet and juicy apples.

serves/makes:

ready in:
30-60 minutes

ingredients

Dough
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 ounce butter
1 large egg

Filling
4 1/2 ounces butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup almond powder
3/4 cup cake flour
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 medium tart apples

directions

For Dough: Mix the flour, confectioners' sugar and butter until a crumbly mixture forms. Add egg and mix until it is absorbed.

For Filling: Mix butter, sugar and eggs into a smooth paste. Gradually add the almonds, cake flour and vanilla extract. Make a smooth paste.

Peel, core, quarter and thin slice apples. Save them in orange juice to prevent browning.

Roll out dough and lay in 9" tart pan. Perforate the bottom to prevent unnecessary bubbles. Spread in filling and layer on apples in decorative manner.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is done. Glaze with melted apricot jelly or apple jelly for a pretty appearance.

Garnish with vanilla, cinnamon or almond ice cream and/or a complementary sauce.

NOTE: Finely ground almonds may be substituted for the almond powder. Granny Smith apples are recommended.

I haven't tasted this yet, as it is still baking, but this is taking WAY longer than the recipe says it's supposed to, as in 15 minutes longer and it's still not done. I think the problem is that the crust amount is not large enough for 9 inches (plus it's really really ssticky so you'll have to freeze it for a half hr to make it workable) and the filling amount is too much for the size tart this makes. Maybe part of my problem is that I'm using a glass pie plate instead of a metal tart tin, but I didn't think the difference would be this big!

  A 9-inch tart pan is smaller than a 9-inch pie pan but the filling amount shouldn't be too much unless you used very large apples.
