Make the most of the abundance of British grown JAZZ™ in stores and try this tasty tart this month. We love JAZZ™ apples on their own as a refreshing snack but their core qualities of crunchiness and tangy-sweet flavour mean they work wonderfully in a range of delicious dishes and drinks too. This JAZZ™ Apple & Frangipane Tart looks stunning on the eye but also tastes divine as well so we highly recommend trying it out.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 JAZZ™ apples
100g unsalted butter, cubed
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
145g ground almonds
2 tbsp flaked almonds
1 shortcrust pastry case (20cm (standard) pre-baked case)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. Cream together the butter and caster sugar in a large bowl using a hand mixer.
3. Add the eggs, ground almonds, vanilla extract and almond extract. Beat until light and creamy.
4. Spoon the mixture into the pastry case and smooth the top.
5. Core and finely slice the apples, then arrange on top of the tart.
6. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and bake for 45 minutes, until golden.
