Easy Keto Apple Tart

INGREDIENTS

For the Crust:

• 6 Tbsp butter, melted

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/3 cup erythritol sweetener

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Filling:

• 3 cups thinly sliced Granny Smith apples (peeled and cored)

• 1/2 tsp lemon juice

• 1/4 cup butter

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 cup erythritol sweetener

For the Topping:

• 1 Tbsp erythritol sweetener

• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/3 cup almond flour

• 1 tablespoon coconut flour

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

• pinch kosher salt

• 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter cold and diced

• 2 tablespoons pecans roughly chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (F)

For the Crust:

1. Combine the melted butter, almond flour, sweetener and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl.

2. Stir with a fork until well combined and crumbly.

3. Press the crust dough firmly into a 10″ springform pan. Create a rim about 1/2 inch high up the sides of the pan, using your fingers or the back of a metal teaspoon.

4. Pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes.

For the Tart:

1. Combine the sliced apples and lemon juice in a medium bowl.

2. To make apple pie from cooked apples, cook the apples and sugar in boiling water for five to seven minutes. It makes the apples a little more tender. If you like the apples in your apple pie to be falling apart, cooking them first helps achieve that goal. The water from the cooking is thickened with cornstarch to make the filling that surrounds the apples in the pie. In general, a cooked apple pie is juicier and softer than a raw apple pie.

3. Lay the sliced apples evenly across the bottom of the crust in a circular (or other) pattern. Press the apples down lightly when done.

4. Combine the butter, cinnamon and sweetener in a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth and brush or spoon evenly over the top of the apples.

5. Bake the tart for 30 minutes at 375 degrees (F).

6. Remove the tart and gently press the apples down flat with the back of a spoon or spatula.

7. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees (F) and bake the tart for another 20 minutes.

8. Remove from the oven.

For the Topping:

1. Combine the cinnamon and sweetener.

2. Sprinkle over the top of the tart.

3. Serve warm or chilled.
