🍏🌰 Flourless Apple and Almond Tart – Rustic, Healthy, and Gluten-Free
Ingredients:
2 cups ground almonds (almond flour)
2 tablespoons honey or natural sweetener
1 egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Sliced almonds for decoration
A pinch of salt
📌 A wholesome, flourless tart with the natural sweetness of apples and the crunchy touch of almonds.
👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the base
In a bowl, mix the ground almonds, honey, egg, cinnamon, and pinch of salt until you get a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Step 2: Shape the base in the pan
Press the dough evenly into a tart pan (preferably a springform pan) to form a compact, even base.
Step 3: Prepare the apples
Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and a bit of cinnamon to prevent browning and add flavor.
Step 4: Assemble the tart
Arrange the apple slices over the almond base, covering the entire surface. Decorate with sliced almonds on top.
Step 5: Bake
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Step 6: Cool and serve
Allow to cool before removing from the pan. Serve at room temperature or chilled—delicious with a bit of natural yogurt.
🍴 Tips:
Use green apples for a tangier flavor, or red apples for more sweetness.
Add a touch of vanilla or nutmeg for extra aroma.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
