Description
This tart is a tasty, fruity, gluten-free treat and beautiful to display.
Ingredients
- ½ cup gluten-free oat flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- ¼ cup Mott's® Cinnamon Applesauce
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup gluten-free almond paste, broken into bite-size pieces
- ¼ cup Mott's® Cinnamon Applesauce
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free oat flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 2 medium peaches
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam or other light-colored jam
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- 2. Make the crust: Pulse the oat flour, almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor for 5 seconds to blend.
- 3. Add the cubed butter and pulse 8-10 times more until a moist, crumbly dough starts to form. Add the applesauce and blend until a soft dough forms.
- 4. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and use your fingers to press the dough into 6 mini tart pans (or 1 9-inch tart pan if you don't have mini shells), making sure the dough rises slightly above the edges of each pan.
- 5. Place the tarts on a rimmed baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes while the oven heats.
- 6. Bake the tarts for 10 minutes, until they start to brown at the edges. Remove from the oven and cool the crusts to room temperature.
- 7. Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees F.
- 8. Make the filling: Beat the egg, almond paste, and applesauce together with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed until smooth.
- 9. Add the oat flour and powdered sugar, and beat on low speed to blend thoroughly.
- 10. Divide the almond custard evenly between the cooled tart crusts.
- 11. Pit and slice the peaches into 1/4-inch thick half-moons and fan the peach slices across each tart crust. Whisk the jam with 1 tablespoon water to make a glaze. Brush the peaches with the glaze using a pastry brush. Return the tarts to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes more, until the custard is matte and puffy at the edges. Serve immediately.
