This tart is a reminisce of days spent in Strasbourg, which was about an hour’s drive from where I lived in Germany.
I know apples are to be indulged with caution when following a Keto diet, but if you use cooking apples at only 9g carbs per 100g, you can just about get away with it, if greed doesn`t get in the way that is!
You must admit, this French Apple Tart looks like a glorious disc of winter sunshine on a plate – and it tastes like it, too!

minutesIngredients
Base:
180 g Almond Flour
65 g Erythritol
1 tsp Cinnamon
85 g Melted Butter
Juice of one Lemon
2 Cooking Apples
Topping:
50 g Melted Butter
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
45 g Erythritol
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 C
- Mix almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon and butter initially with a fork and then with your hands, forming a ball of dough.
- Leave the dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, peel the apples and slice into thin half moon pieces (see photo).
- Squeeze the juice of one lemon onto the sliced apples and toss with two spoons, coating them. This stops them from turning brown before they are baked.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and press it into the base of a lined baking tin. Spread and work it evenly with your hands. working it 2-3 cm up the sides of the tin.
- Arrange the sliced apples in a circle in the baking tin, as in the photo.
- Mix the melted butter, cinnamon and erythritol and brush the mixture over the apples.
- Bake at 180 C for circa 30-40 minutes
