Dreamy Desserts!

I am always experimenting with recipes and food, creating fabs and flops!

So whenever I use a recipe from somewhere other then out of my head, and I blog about it, I will always do my best to acknowledge the original creators.


Apple Frangipane Tart

Ingredients
  • 2 sheets of frozen shortcrust pastry, partially thawed
  • 100g of butter
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 1 large green apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • Extra 10g butter, melted
  • Icing sugar for dusting
  • *Note: I added the zest of 1 lemon to the almond mixture before baking
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Line 11 cm x 34 cm loose based rectangular, fluted tart pan with pastry. Trim edges. Prick all over with a fork. Place on a baking tray, line base with baking paper and fill with weights or uncooked rice.
  2. Bake for 10 mins. Remove weights or rice and paper. Bake for another 10 mins or until pastry is golden.
  3. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until just combined. Stir in almond and flour. Spoon almond mixture into pastry case. Level top with a spatula. Arrange apple on top, overlapping slices slightly. Drizzle melted butter over apple.
  4. Bake tart for 35 mins ir until golden. Cool in pan. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
  5. Best served warm with whipped cream or vanilla bean ice-cream.
