Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.
Roll out 300 g sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) thinly and line the tart tins or moulds with it.
Stage 2
Place the lined tins or moulds on a baking sheet.
Stage 3
You can also use muffin moulds, in which case it's better to cut out a circle of pastry with a cutter, then transfer this to the mould.
Stage 4
Prepare 200 g stewed apple (compote), 200 g rice pudding (riz au lait) and 200 g almond cream, or take out of the fridge if already made.
The ingredients are easier to use when nice and soft, so it's worth leaving the almond cream at room temperature for a couple of hours. Soften the rice pudding a little if necessary by mixing in 1 or 2 tablespoonsful of cream.

Then add a layer of rice pudding.
Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.
And top with almond cream.
Stage 8 - ⌛ 40 min.
Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes (watch for colouring). Remove from the tins or moulds as soon as possible and leave to cool on a wire rack.
Stage 9
This can be made as one large tart to be served in slices, rather than several small ones.
Remarks
Important: amandines don't keep well, as eventually the stewed apple will make the pastry go soft. They are best eaten the day they are made and slightly warm if possible.
Keeping: Several hours in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.

Cream sauce with Vin Jaune
This sauce made with Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is emblematic of Comtoise cuisine from Eastern France. It combines the smoothness of cream with the slight acidity and typical flavour of the Vin Jaune. The tricky aspect of cooking with Vin Jaune is that its fugitive flavour tends to disappear when cooked for any length of time. You will notice that this recipe uses a particular way of finishing the sauce to limit this loss of flavour. October 3rd 2018249 K4 50 min.
