Method

How to Make Gluten-Free Caramel Apple Tart

In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, maple syrup, egg yolk, and salt until a cohesive dough forms.
Press the dough into a tart pan evenly, pricking it with a fork and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until it's golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Toss the thinly sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the cooled crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the apples are tender and aromatic.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Allow the tart to cool completely to set the caramel before slicing.
