Ingredients

  • 1 apple thinly sliced
  • 1 puff pastry sheet cut into a 20 cm round
  • raw sugar to sprinkle
  • icing sugar to dust

for the frangipane

  • 1 cup (100 g) almond meal
  • 1 egg
  • 50 g butter room temperature
  • 50 g rapadura sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
  • To prepare frangipane, mix all ingredients in a medium bowl with a spoon until it forms a thick smooth paste.
  • Score a 1cm border in the pastry round. Spread the frangipane inside this border all over the pastry round. Arrange apple slices in a circle. Sprinkle with extra raw sugar. Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 18 minutes until golden and crisp.
  • Remove from oven. Dust with icing sugar. Cut into slices and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  1. I bake using a convection oven setting. If baking in a fan-forced oven, reduce oven temperature by approximately 20°C (68F).
  2. Make sure you remove the seeds of the apple after slicing it thinly.
