This Mediterranean Apple Rose Tart is one of my favorite recipes that I’ve created for my blog. The inspiration for this recipe came from my mother’s apple roses, which she used to make for special occasions. She always used the most beautiful apples for these tarts, and I’ve tried to recreate the same effect with this recipe. The tart crust is a combination of almond flour, butter, and a hint of cinnamon, and the filling is made with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. The tart is finished with overlapping apple slices that form a beautiful rose pattern. This tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion!
Tips:
- For a vegan version of this tart, substitute the butter for a vegan butter alternative.
- For a gluten-free version of this tart, substitute the almond flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
- If you don’t have a tart pan, you can also use a 9-inch pie plate.
Variations:
- For a sweeter tart, add 1/4 cup of honey to the filling mixture.
- For a spicier tart, add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger to the filling mixture.
- For a more intense apple flavor, use a mixture of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Golden Delicious.
