  • ¼ cup brown granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

For the crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured (GF flour) counter and then transfer to the prepared pan. Arrange the apples in the center of the dough, leaving space around the edge.
  • Fold the edges of the dough to form a rustic tart brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Divide 1 tablespoon of diced butter over the apples.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Keep in mind that all ovens are different.
  • Sprinkle with chopped toasted almonds and serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
