Apple and Almond Tart

Directions

1. Grease a 23 cm metal springform pan. ≈ 3 min
2. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan, then pour it into a large bowl. ⏱ ≈ 7 min
3. Add the eggs, sugar and almond extract, and mix well until everything is incorporated. Then add the flour and baking powder. Mix well – at this stage, the mixture should be firm. ≈ 4 min
4. Spread about two thirds of the mixture in the pan. ≈ 3 min
5. Peel, core and slice the apples, then arrange them on top of the mixture in the pan. Cover with the rest of the batter. At this point, the cake may look “messy,” but baking will smooth out most of the irregularities or gaps on the surface. ≈ 8 min
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C (325 °F) for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. ⏱ 1 hr
7. Once baked, let it cool slightly in the pan. Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife and gently push it out onto a plate. Let it cool completely. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
8. Once it has cooled, gently dust the top of the cake with sifted confectioners’ sugar. Serve warm or cold, with cream for the best result. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
