Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 medium Apples
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Arrowroot starch

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

To make the crust, in a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until it's lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.

Step 5

Meanwhile, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Aim for 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices.

Step 6

Toss the apple slices in a large bowl with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. Ensure all the apple slices are evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern in the cooled crust, starting at the outside and working toward the center, overlapping the slices slightly.

Step 8

Sprinkle arrowroot starch over the apples for thickening as they bake.

Step 9

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the pan to serve.

Step 11

Optionally, brush a thin layer of warm maple syrup on top of the apples for a glossy finish.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Paleo Classic French Apple Tart!
