Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 25 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 50 grams Butter, softened
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons Apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and rub together with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the almond flour, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Set aside.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches across. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing into the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough.

Step 7

Spread the almond mixture evenly over the tart shell.

Step 8

Arrange the apple slices in a spiral pattern on top of the almond mixture, overlapping slightly.

Step 9

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the apples are tender and golden brown.

Step 10

While the tart is baking, heat apricot preserves with 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Strain if necessary to remove lumps.

Step 11

Brush the warm apricot glaze over the finished tart for a shiny finish.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool before serving. Slice and enjoy!
