simple instructions on how to make gluten-free maple caramel apple tart,

Heads up…this apple tart is very simple to make! I know the tart looks impressive, and you may think it takes hours to make it. But, not at all.

The crust is made in a food processor then easily pressed into a nine-inch tart pan—no rolling out of the dough or messy work surface.

 

apple slices

 

For the apple filling, once you have the apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced, you toss them with fresh lemon juice, cinnamon and a bit of tapioca or arrowroot starch.

arrange the apples,

The next step is your choice as to how you will arrange the apples, depends on how much time you have. Taking the time to arrange the apple slices nicely is key to a beautiful tart.

Try to arrange the apples in a circular pattern so that when you slice the tart, every slice will yield a similar portion.

But, if you are short on time or don’t want to fiddle with the apples, scatter them evenly in the crust and press them down slightly using your hands. You should have two layers of apples.

First time baking a gluten & egg free pie and this one was delicious! As a very picky eater and tons of food allergies, this pie is now one of my family’s favorite! Note: Probably won’t be adding coconut sugar. Caramel Maple Sauce has enough sweetness.
