Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole raw almonds
- ½ cup pecans or pecan meal, or two cups almonds
- ⅛ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, or olive oil
- ice water
- 5 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced, your choice of variety
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- In a food processor, grind the nuts and sugar until fine. Place in a large bowl and drizzle in the oil. Incorporate with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the ice water a teaspoon at a time, mixing in gently until a dough forms. Shape in a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest in fridge at least 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 425℉.
- Meanwhile, prepare the apples. In a large bowl, whisk the maple syrup with the spices. Add the apple slices and toss to coat.
- Remove dough from fridge, and gently roll out. It will be very sticky, so don't worry if it doesn't roll well. Fit and press into a tart pan, trying to make an even layer of the dough. Fill with the apples and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 425℉ for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350℉ and cook another 30-40 minutes, until apples are tender and the filling is slightly bubbly.
