Chef's tip

🍰🍏 Add a tablespoon of applesauce to the filling for extra moistness. For an even crunchier crust, mix a little almond flour into the dough before rolling it out. You can also add a touch of salted butter caramel for extra flavor! 🍮🌰

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Baked tart, up to 3 months in airtight packaging. Thaw then reheat.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The tart dough and apple slices can be prepared, store separately in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven: 10-15 min at 150°C to get the crispiness back. Microwave: 1-2 min at medium power, may soften the crust.

Variations

  • Use pears or a mix of apples and pears.
  • Replace the butter with vegan margarine for a dairy-free version.
  • Spread a thin layer of applesauce on the bottom of the tart before the apples.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Rolling the dough too thin: it tears. A gluten-free dough is crumbly, so roll it out carefully.
  • Skipping the rest in the refrigerator: the dough sticks and falls apart. Respect the resting time.
  • Forgetting to toss the apples with lemon: they turn brown. Sprinkle them with lemon juice.

Frequently asked questions

How do you roll out a crumbly gluten-free dough?

Roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper, or directly in the pan by pressing it with your fingertips. A dough well rested in the refrigerator is easier to handle. Prick the bottom with a fork.

Can you make the crust with another flour?

Rice flour gives a crumbly crust. A blend of gluten-free flours, with cornstarch, can improve how it holds together. Check that all the flours are certified gluten-free, if needed.

Which apples should you choose for this tart?

Apples that hold up when baked, slightly tart, like Granny Smith or Boskoop. Cut them into thin slices and sprinkle them with lemon juice so they don't turn brown before baking.

Can you replace the butter?

Yes, with vegan margarine, for a dairy-free tart. Use a gluten-free product, which the recipe specifies. The butter or margarine must be cold and worked in quickly to keep the crust crumbly.
