Ingredients

• Almond flour - 150g
• Coconut oil - 50g, melted
• Maple syrup - 30g
• Water - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Apples (preferably Granny Smith) - 2 medium, peeled and sliced

• Almond milk (for brushing) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, water, and salt until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

5. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and agave syrup if using.
6. Arrange the spiced apple mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
7. Brush the apple filling with almond milk for a glossy finish.
8. Bake in the oven for an additional 25 minutes or until apples are tender and the crust is slightly golden.
9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
