This app le tart's flavorful components include a buttery crisp crust, a soft and creamy frangipane (almond cream), and thin slices of mildly sweetened apples that have been tossed with sugar and ground cinnamon. Excellent while still warm from the oven, at room temperature, or even cold. I love tarts with a buttery flavour and crunchy texture.

It is important that your butter is COLD, and I find that cutting it into small cubes makes it much simpler to incorporate into the flour mixture. Frangipane sounds much fancier than it actually is and it is quite simple to prepare and only needs a few ingredients. It is a sweet paste with an almond flavour that is used in many European and French delicacies, including cakes and pastries. It is primarily an almond filling (paste) consisting of butter, eggs, ground almonds, sugar, and flour, and is sometimes referred to as frangipane cream. Spre
