A recipe from Brigitte*, my neighbor, accomplice and friend

Ingredients for 6 servings

for 6 to 8 people:

1 shortcrust pastry base approximately 30cm*
Almond cream
100 g brown sugar
100 g ground almonds
zest from 1/2 orange blanched and chopped
75 g softened butter (soft)
2 whole farm eggs
For the Strussel preparation
100 g flour
100 g brown sugar
50 g ground almonds
100 g butter
zest prepared the same way from the other half orange
6 beautiful apples (Elstar or Jonagold for example)
peeled and cut into 1/2 cm cubes mixed with a little orange juice.

Step-by-step directions

1 Line your tart base in your mold then place it lightly pricked in the fridge.

2 In a bowl, pour your sugar, your ground almonds and your zest mix well then add your butter, stir and finish with the lightly beaten eggs.
Then reserve at room temperature.

3 Strussel preparation
Mix well with your clean hands all the elements by passing them between your fingers then make a ball and place it between 2 sheets of plastic film to flatten it to approximately 1/2 cm thickness towards the fridge for 30 minutes.

4 After this time, preheat your oven to 180° (gas mark 6)

5 On your work surface, place your tart then spread your almond cream over it, drain your apple cubes and arrange them on top, then take out your strussel and quickly cut small cubes of approximately 1cm which you will scatter over the top of your tart.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes, after cooking and cooling sprinkle with powdered sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon.
