Place the diced butter in a bowl and soften it in the microwave.

Then cream the butter and icing sugar together. Add the eggs at room temperature and whisk.

Then add the flour and mix using a wooden spoon. Knead the pastry into a square.

Place the pastry on cling film and seal it. Finally, using a rolling pin, flatten the dough evenly and set aside in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Peel the 5 apples and dice them.

Then fry the diced apples in the butter and sugar over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until you obtain a compote.

Form the pastry into a ball and kneed it using a rolling pin.

Once flattened, prick the pastry using a fork, then turn it out into a tart tin or pastry ring, and line the tin.

Flatten the excess dough using the rolling pin. Repeat the step a second time, if your pastry doesn’t fall out of the ring, it’s a success!

Add the cold compote to the tart and flatten the edges slightly.

Pour in the egg whites and sugar, and mix.

Once the mixture has been blanched, add the flaked almonds, and mix.

Spread the mixture evenly over the compote.

Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes at 170°C.

You can add a few pieces of Tasty Granny® apple sprinkled with icing sugar.
