- Add the egg gradually and mix well with each addition. Add the sifted flour and gently combine with a rubber spatula..
- Bring the dough together and wrap in plastic wrap. Let it rest overnight in the refrigerator..
- Put the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and roll it out 3mm thick. Line the chilled tart pan with the dough. Pierce the dough with a fork and chill in the refrigerator in the pan..
- Weight down the crust with pie weights, and bake for about 20 minutes in a 180℃ oven. Once the rim of the crust starts to brown lightly, remove the weights and bake the bottom crust for 7 minutes..
- Once the bottom starts to brown lightly, let it cool on a baking rack..
- Make the almond Cream: Bring the butter to room temperature and whisk until it reaches a creamy consistency. Add the powdered sugar in 3 batches and mix well with each addition..
- Add the egg gradually and mix well with each addition. Add the sifted almond flour and fold it in..
- Let the cream rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour. In the meantime, we will caramelize the apples..
- Make the apple filling: Peel the apples and cut into wedges. Soak in salt water and take them out immediately. Pat them completely dry with paper towels..
- Heat the unsalted butter in a frying pan. Once melted, add the granulated sugar. Once it turns brown, turn off the heat and add the apples..
- Saute the apples until they are lightly browned over low- medium heat. Sprinkle some rum in at the end. Do not let the apples burn, whatever you do..
- The sauteed apples will stick together once they cooled down, so spread them out in a single layer to cool..
- The rested almond cream will be cold and hardened, so soften it by mixing it well. Put the softened cream into the crust and smooth out the surface..
- Arrange the sauteed apples on top of the almond dream, and bake the tart for 50 minutes in a 180℃ oven. While it's still hot, brush the top with apricot jam which has been passed through a sieve to remove any solid bits..
