Gluten Free French Apple Tart

Ingredients

• 1 store bought (gluten free) puff pastry
• 2.2 pounds apples
• 300 grams unsweetened apple sauce
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C)

2. 2

   Roll out the puff pastry or pie crust. Transfer to a 27 cm (10.6 inch) metal pie pan lined with parchment paper. Prick the pie crust or puff pastry with a fork to prevent it from inflating.

3. 3

   Then put it for 10 minutes in the oven to precook it.

4. 4

   In the meantime, peel and core the apples with an apple corer.

5. 5

   Then cut the apples lengthwise in 2 halves.

6. 6

   Then thinly slice crosswise each half apple.

7. 7

   Add a pinch of cinnamon to your apple sauce. Then spread the apple sauce evenly over the precooked pie crust.

8. 8

   Place the apple slices on top of the apple sauce, starting from the outside and working in.

9. 9

   Once you have placed a full row of apple slices on the exterior, place some apple pieces in the middle in order to level up the center for the second row.

10. 10

    Repeat the same arrangement for the second row of apples.

11. 11

    Again repeat the same process until you reach the center. As you move toward the center, the apples will become trickier to arrange. Arrange the last few slices into a circle as beautifully as you can.

12. 12

    Put the pie in the oven for 35 minutes or until it gets a nice golden color. Before serving, brush a little bit of maple syrup on top of your apple tart to give it a nice glow and maple flavor. And voilà! Let it cool and serve.Bon appétit !
