Apple Rosette Frangipane Tart
This is one of those desserts that looks impressive while not being that difficult to create. I will admit that my rosettes aren't picture perfect, but they get the idea across...and they are tasty.
Ingredients
Tart Crust
- 1-1/2 C flour
- 1/2 C ground almonds
- 1/2 C powdered sugar (prefer Imperial Sugar)
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 C butter
- 2 to 3 T water
- 2 to 3 T vodka (use whatever alcohol you want - or more water)
Frangipane
- 1 C ground almonds
- 1/4 C granulated sugar (prefer Imperial Sugar)
- 1/4 C powdered sugar (prefer Imperial Sugar)
- 2/3 C melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 t pure vanilla extract
- 1 t pure almond extract
Rosettes
- 4 apples, thinly sliced
- 1/4 C honey
- sugar for garnish, if you like
Procedure
Tart Crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, and salt together; rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Mix the flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, and salt together; rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Alternatively stir in water and vodka, if using, until the mixture
forms a ball. Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper. Press gently into
a tart pan. Prick crust with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 20 minutes at
350, or until a light golden brown. In the meantime, make the frangipane.
Frangipane
Mix everything together to form a paste. Once the tart crust
is cooked, spread a layer of frangipane over the bottom. Bake for 20 minutes.
While the frangipane is baking, prepare your rosettes.
Thinly slice the apples with a mandolin slicer.
Remove tart from the pan. Sprinkle with some sugar for "sparkle", if you like. Slice and serve.
