Instructions:
Sweet dough
Beat softened butter and sugar until you get a creamy mixture. Add the egg yolk and beat again. Then add the dry ingredients (flour and salt). Mix until the dough comes off the bowl.
If necessary add a little water. Do not mix more than necessary (to prevent it from becoming elastic).
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured work surface (or on baking paper). Place the dough in a 28cm tart mold. Then refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Apple filling
Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat.
Peel and seed the apples then cut each apple into 8. Place them on the pie shell, sticking them together. The pie shell must be completely covered.
In a bowl, combine the eggs and the brown sugar. Then add the other ingredients: almond powder, liquid cream, Calvados, vanilla and salt. Mix everything then pour over the pie.
Sprinkle with brown sugar then bake for 1h-1h10 depending on your oven (to be monitored). The pie should be lightly browned. Let cool on a rack outside the oven. Enjoy warm or cold, plain or with a little whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream ...
Notes:
This tart will keep for about 2 days at room temperature or 3-4 days in the refrigerator, protected in an airtight container.
