Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond paste 68 grams
- 8 tablespoons granulated sugar divided, 104 grams
- 8 tablespoons butter room temperature, divided, unsalted, 112 grams
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 16 grams
- 4 puff pastry 6 inch (15 cm) circles
- 5-6 cooking apples such as Braeburn or Granny Smith, large, firm
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream 15 milliliters
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
- In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment or with an electric hand mixer, beat the almond paste with 3 tablespoons (39 grams) of the sugar until combined.
- Add 4 tablespoons (56 grams) of the butter and mix well.
- Add 1 egg, then the almond extract. Sprinkle in the flour, mix again, and set aside.
- Cut out four 6-inch (15 cm) circles of puff pastry.
- Trace a 5-inch (13 cm) diameter circle inside each tart, cutting slightly into the pastry but not all the way through. Prick the interior of the circle with a fork to prevent it from rising.
- Divide the almond paste mixture evenly among the 4 tarts and spread on the inner 5-inch (13 cm) circles.
- Peel and core the apples. Slice the apples into thin circles, preferably with a mandoline, and arrange them overlapping all but 1/2 inch (1 cm) on the frangipane. (Each tart should get at least 1 whole apple.)
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons (56 grams) of butter. Brush the apples with melted butter and generously sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and the cream. Brush the outside rim of the tart with the mixture.
- Bake at 400˚F (200˚C) for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325˚F (170˚C) for 20 to 25 more minutes or until the tarts are golden brown and the puff pastry is cooked all the way through.
- Cut the tarts into 6 pie wedges each and serve 3 per person.
