Step by step recipe

Stage 1
Apple-almond shortbread tart : Stage 1

Stage 7

Place in the oven, with the bottom down, for approximately 30 minutes.

If your apples turn too much color at the end of cooking, protect them with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Stage 8
Apple-almond shortbread tart : Stage 8
Let cool before, if possible, glazing the top of the tart with a brush.
Stage 9
Apple-almond shortbread tart : Stage 9
Enjoy warm or cold.
Remarks
As the combination of shortcrust pastry and almond cream is quite sweet, I recommend you choose more tart apples (reinette, granny-smith...) for a delicious contrast.

Glazing in step 8 is not absolutely essential, but it quickly turns your tart into a little masterpiece...
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
