Cooking in the Le-Buff: Yummy Marzipan Apple Tart

If an apple tart is good, and marzipan is delicious. Then why shouldn't they be goolicious together? Personally I think tarts are even easier than pies, you can whip this up in no time. I also have pictured the ingredients needed to make your own marzipan (Recipe Here). I suppose you could make it using store bought almond paste but I can't say how that will come out. It's seriously so easy to make that after you try making your own you'll stop buying it.

Yield: 1 10'' apple tart

Ingredients:

Crust:

188g Flour (Roughly 1 1/2 Cup)
1/2 Cup Salted Butter (1 stick or 8 tablespoons)
50g Sugar (Roughly 1/4 Cup)
1 Egg

Filling:

1/2 Cup Marzipan (Recipe Here)
2 Eggs

Topping:

4 Apples
1 tbsp Sugar
Cinnamon

Recipe:

Crust:

Beat the butter and sugar together with a mixer until creamy.

Add in the egg and flour and beat together until a dough forms. If the dough won't form together add a little more flour until it all comes together.

Roll out the dough to 12'' (and yes I know this is 11'' at the moment, I did this so you can see the increments).

Place the rolled dough in the tart pan and lightly press against the bottom and sides. You may have to reassemble of the edges, no worries. Prick a few holes in the bottom of the crust for good measure, then put in the refrigerator.

Filling:

In a bowl add the eggs and beat. Next, add in the marzipan and mix until incorporated.

Topping:

Peel the apples and slice very thinly.

Take the chilled crust out and pour in the filling. Overlapping the slices, arrange in an outer circle then an inner circle lastly. Repeat for a second layer.
