Delicious French Apple Tart

Ingredients

For the crust (Gluten-Free Pâte Sucrée):

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ½ cup tapioca flour (or arrowroot starch)

• 2 tbsp coconut flour

• ¼ cup maple syrup or honey

• ¼ cup coconut oil or vegan butter, melted

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

For the apples:

• 4-5 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work well)

• 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tbsp apricot jam (for glaze)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Make the crust:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• In a mixing bowl, combine all crust ingredients until a dough forms.

• Press evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.

• Poke the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.

• Bake for 10–12 minutes, then let cool while preparing apples.

2. Prepare the apples:

• Peel, core, and thinly slice apples (about ⅛-inch thick).

• Toss slices gently with coconut sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

3. Assemble the tart:

• Arrange apple slices in overlapping circles starting from the outer edge and working inward.

• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until apples are tender and lightly browned.

4. Glaze:

• Warm apricot jam in a small saucepan (add a splash of water if too thick).

• Brush over warm apples for a shiny, flavorful finish.
