Treat yourself to the simple elegance of our Apple Frangipane Tart! With buttery puff pastry, a creamy almond filling, and perfectly tender apples, this French Apple Tart Frangipane is an irresistible dessert that’s easy to make. Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or just because this Apple and Frangipane Tart is sure to impress.
Here are some chef tips to make your Apple Frangipane Tart even more versatile and delicious. You can swap the apples for pears, apricots, plums, or raspberries to match the season’s freshest fruits. The frangipane filling can be prepared up to three days ahead and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. For a simpler finish, skip the jam and dust your apple and almond tart with icing sugar. These tarts are best enjoyed the same day they’re baked, but for an extra indulgent touch, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Directions
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°F.
- Place almond flour and 1/4 cup sugar in food processor and pulse a couple of times to mix. Add egg and pulse to combine.
- Add butter, almond extract (if using), vanilla extract, salt, and 1 Tbsp flour; process until smooth, it should resemble thick almond butter in texture.
- Spread out sheets of pastry on a lightly floured surface and press lightly with rolling pin just to smooth dough out. Cut each sheet into 4 even squares.
- Transfer pastry squares to 2 parchment lined sheet pans. Spread about a tablespoon and a half almond cream on centre of each pastry rectangle, leaving at least ½” border, as it will spread once you add the apples.
- Place 5-7 apple slices on top of almond cream. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
- Bake pastries until pastry is puffed and golden, apples are soft and frangipane is golden brown, 40-45 minutes.
- While pastries are baking, warm up peach jam until it is spreadable. Once pastries come out of the oven, brush with a bit of jam.
- Do Ahead: Almond cream can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
