2 tablespoons apricot jam (opt for the “no sugar added” kind)
2 tablespoons lukewarm water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, add all the almond flour, maple syrup, butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a flat surface and roll into a ¼ inch thickness. Then carefully transfer the rolled dough to the prepared tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trip the excess dough from the edges.
Cut out a round parchment paper a bit larger than the size of the tart pan and place it over the prepared dough. Pour about 2 cups of dried beans, rice, or pie weights into the tart crust to keep it from puffing while baking.
Bake the dough for about 15 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown.
While the dough is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, add applesauce, coconut sugar, egg yolks, Chai Bliss, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together to combine.
Cut the apple in half and remove the core. Then slice each half into thin slices. Set aside.
Remove the tart crust from the oven and remove the parchment paper with dried beans. Pour the applesauce mixture into the tart crust and spread the mixture evenly with the back of the spoon.
Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern. Sprinkle the coconut sugar over the apple slices and bake for about 40 minutes until the applesauce mixture sets.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the apricot glaze by mixing apricot jam and lukewarm water until mixed. Using a pastry brush, brush the apple tart with the glaze.
