🍎 Ingredients:

✔️ 250 g rice flour

✔️ 50 g cornstarch

✔️ 125 g very cold lightly salted butter

✔️ 30 g cane sugar

✔️ 1 kg Cox’s Orange Pippin or Reinette d’Armorique apples

✔️ 10 g lightly salted butter

✔️ 20 g light brown sugar

👨‍🍳 Preparation:

1. Cut the butter into cubes.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch, add the diced butter and 30 g of sugar, mix with your fingertips and add a little water to form a smooth dough.
3. Form into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Remove the dough, knead again if necessary, then roll out, place in a pie dish, and prick the bottom and edges with a fork. Refrigerate.
5. Set aside 2 to 3 nice apples for garnishing.
6. Peel, core, and cut the other apples into pieces.
7. Place the apple pieces in a saucepan with a little water, without adding sugar. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes over low heat.
8. Blend or mash them.
9. While the compote is cooking, peel, core, and slice the rest of the apples into rounds, as shown in the photo. Peel, core, and cut the other apples into pieces.
10. Preheat the oven to 210°C.
11. Pour the compote onto the pie crust, smooth it out, and arrange the apple slices in a spiral pattern.
12. Melt the butter with the sugar. Using a brush, coat the tart with this mixture.
13. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 210°C, then lower the temperature to 180°C and continue baking for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the baking.
14. Serve warm or cold.
