An almond-flavored frangipane creates a nutty bottom layer for my apple tart. Golden phyllo dough creates a delicate and crispy melt-in-your-mouth crust.—Jessie Sarrazin, Livingston, Montana
Apple Frangipane Phyllo Tart
Yield:16 servings
Prep:30 min
Cook:40 min
Ingredients
- 10 sheets phyllo dough (14x9 inches)
- Butter-flavored cooking spray
- 1-1/4 cups blanched almonds
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons amaretto
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 small apples, peeled
- 2 tablespoons apple jelly, warmed
Directions
-
1Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; coat with cooking spray. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Gently press phyllo into a 9-in. tart pan, allowing ends to extend over edge of pan.
-
2Layer with remaining phyllo, spraying after each layer; arrange in pan, rotating phyllo so corners do not overlap. Fold in overhanging phyllo to form a pastry shell.
-
3Place almonds and sugar in a food processor; cover and process until finely ground. Add the flour, butter and salt; pulse until blended.
-
4Add egg yolks, amaretto and almond extract; cover and pulse to blend well. Spread filling over the bottom of phyllo shell.
-
5Halve and core apples; thinly slice widthwise. Arrange apple slices in a pinwheel pattern over filling.
-
6Bake at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until apples are tender. Cover edge with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Remove to a wire rack and cool slightly. Brush warmed jelly over apples. Serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers.
