Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

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.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Start the mixer and knead until smooth.

Stop the mixer and leave the mixture in.

Stage 3 - 15 min.

Peel 1 kg apple, remove the core and slice into strips (a mandolin is ideal for this).

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Pour the apples into the mixer and run for a minute or two until well blended.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Line a baking dish with buttered baking paper.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Pour the mixture in, smooth the top a little...

Stage 7 - 45 min.

... and bake for about 45 minutes.

Stage 8 - 30 min.

Let cool, or at least lukewarm...

Stage 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.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
