Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons apricot jam (sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and granulated erythritol. Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the almond flour mixture, and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared tart pan. Prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them in a large bowl with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and powdered erythritol until coated evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the apple slices in a circular, overlapping pattern on the cooled crust, starting from the outer edge and working toward the center.

Step 7

Brush the apples with unsweetened almond milk to help them retain moisture during baking.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly golden.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, gently heat the sugar-free apricot jam until it becomes runny. Brush the warmed jam over the apples to give them a glossy finish.

Step 10

Allow the tart to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
