Directions

  1. Adjust rack to second lowest rung in oven. Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Spray tart pan with bakers spray.
  2. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place in tart pan and gently push dough into sides. Roll a rolling pin across the top to cut off excess dough.
  3. To make frangipane: Add Almond Paste (grated using large hole side of a box grater), sugar and butter to mixing bowl. Beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in flour and refrigerate.
  4. Peel, core and slice apples 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
  5. Evenly spread frangipane filling into tart shell. Starting at outer edge, arrange apples in a circle slightly overlapping each. Make a second smaller circle overlapping first circle by 1/8 inch. Make a center rosette with smaller apple slices.
  6. Brush apples with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place on baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes or until apple edges are slightly blackened and filling is golden. Cool on wire rack.
