Step by step recipe

1	Pour 100 g ground almonds, 130 g flour, 330 g caster sugar, 4 eggs, 10 g baking powder, 230 g butter and 3 pinches salt into the bowl of a mixer.
2	Start the mixer and knead until smooth. Stop the mixer and leave the mixture in.
3	Peel 1 kg apple, remove the core and slice into strips (a mandolin is ideal for this).
4	Pour the apples into the mixer and run for a minute or two until well blended.
5	Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking dish with buttered baking paper.
6	Pour the mixture in, smooth the top a little...
7	... and bake for about 45 minutes.
8	Let cool, or at least lukewarm...
9	... before unmolding. Enjoy warm or cold, on its own or with a little custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or both!

Remarks

You really need to line the bottom of the dish with baking paper, as the pastry sticks a lot after baking.
To balance out the very sweet side of the pastry, use slightly tart apples such as Reinette if possible.
