ingredients
- 1 9-inch fresh Pre-rolled crust
- 2/3 cup ground walnuts
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 ounces unsalted Butter, room temperature and cubed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 baking powder
- 1/2 cinnamon
- 1 apples, sliced
Method
Walnut Frangipane
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°
Step 2
Place the brown sugar and softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (note: a hand mixer may also be used).
Step 3
Begin mixing the brown sugar and butter together on medium speed. Continue to mix until the mixture is lightened and creamy (approximately 3 – 4 minutes). Scrape the bottom and side of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Add the ground walnuts and granulated sugar and mix on low speed until combined.
Step 5
Begin adding the room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. Scrape bottom and sides of bowl between each addition.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the flour, cinnamon and baking powder.
Assemble Tart
Step 1
Wash apples to remove any dirt or wax. It is not necessary to peel the apples.
Step 2
Using an offset spatula, spread the frangipane evenly in the bottom of the tart shell (tart shell should be completely cooled).
Step 3
Slice apples thinly (approximately ⅛" thick).
Step 4
Insert apples in the frangipane already spread in the tart shell. Place down so the apple peel is facing upwards. Work in a circle starting at the outer edge of the tart shell and work inwards.
Bake Tart
Step 1
Place tart pan on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 – 35 minutes in preheated oven (350°). The frangipane will have risen and be set when the tart is done.
Step 2
Cool for approximately two hours. Remove tart by pressing upwards on removeable pan bottom.
