About Nutty Rose Apple Tart
The Nutty Rose Apple Tart transforms dessert into an artful delight, featuring a crunchy, nutty crust made from almond flour and walnuts. Each slice reveals a beautiful rose pattern of sweet apples nestled atop a luscious, creamy custard filling, making it as visually stunning as it is delicious.
This tart is a creative way to sneak wholesome nuts, fresh fruits, milk, and eggs into your kids' diets, ensuring every bite is both nourishing and indulgent. Inspired by my love for roses, this dessert is perfect for special occasions or whenever you crave something both elegant and wholesome.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Add walnuts to food processor and pulse until flour like consistency.
- Add almond flour, 1 egg, coconut oil and 2 Tbsp date syrup into food processor and process until dough starts forming.
- Place dough in the middle of your baking pan and spread out with your fingers until the whole pan bottom and sides are evenly covered. Make sure the sides are thick enough to not break when removed from pan.
- If the dough becomes too sticky either use parchment paper in between fingers and dough or put dough in the freezer for 10 minutes and then start spreading.
- Fill a big bowl with lukewarm water and squeeze juice of half a lemon into the water.
- Place tart pan with crust in the fridge while slicing apples.
- Preheat oven to 180 °C
- Wash, core and quarter one apple at a time and finely slice it letting the slices fall into a large bowl with lemon water until all apples are sliced. Use a mandolin slicer or a potato peeler.
- Submerge a hand full apple slices 10 seconds in boiling water, remove and then form rose with the slices. Then continue filling pan with apple slices around the rose until full.
- In a small bowl whisk together condensed milk, 1 egg, egg yolks, and 1/4 cup date syrup and slowly and carefully pour custard into wholes between apple slices.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180 °C until crust and apple tops start browning.
- Let cool down to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 1 hour for custard to solidify to required consistency.
Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a striking rose effect, use a mix of red and green apple varieties; the subtle color variations will enhance the visual appeal of your tart.
- Lightly brush the apple slices with lemon juice as you arrange them to prevent browning and add a gentle tang that balances the sweetness of the filling.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, ensure your almond flour is certified gluten-free and substitute any wheat-based syrup with maple syrup or honey for extra depth of flavor.
- After baking, gently glaze the apples with a warmed apricot jam or honey for a glossy finish and an extra touch of sweetness and aroma.
