Linzer torte (Slideshow version)

Linzer torte : Photo of step #26

Overview:

Linzer torte, or tart from Linz (Austria), has a cinnamon-flavoured crust filled with raspberry jam.

The special and rather crumbly sweet pastry used for the case is made with cinnamon, ground almonds and the yolks of hard-boiled eggs.

There are many different versions. In this rather unusual one, inspired by Gaston Lenôtre, the raspberry jam is mixed with a little tart (in the other sense!) stewed apple.
