Apple crumble tart
A great combination of desserts. If you like apple crumble and apple tart, you'll love this! It's served with a thin sweet custard sauce but you can easily go with ice cream.

- In a small bowl, mix flour, almonds, 100g sugar and cinnamon together. Add cold butter and vanilla extract. Rub together with clean fingers until small crumbs form.
- Unfold pastry and cut into a 25cm circle. Place on a large, ungreased baking tray. Brush with melted butter. Arrange apples in the centre of the pastry, leaving a 1cm wide border of pastry. Spoon almond topping gently over the apples, being careful it doesn't spill over the edges of the pastry.
- Bake at 180 C / Gas 4 for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- To make the custard: Place egg yolks and 3 tablespoons sugar in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Beat mixture constantly with a portable electric mixer. When foamy, add the marsala; continue to beat until the mixture begins to thicken. Do not overcook, or the mixture will curdle. Remove from heat.
- Serve warm over the apple crumble tart.

This recipe is wonderful! I skipped the wine sauce and served it with vanilla ice cream and hot caramel sauce. I made 6 individual tarts rather than one big one by using a 10 oz package of puff pastry shells and rolling each shell into a 5 inch circle. It was a big hit at a recent dinner party. - 24 Sep 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe was a great change of pace from the usual apple pie. I love apples and this recipe is now among my favorites. - 07 Jan 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is a DELICIOUS recipe! I substitued oats for the almonds, since some of my family don't care for nuts. And instead of making the sauce, used a caramel sauce drizzled over it. Yumm! This is bound to be a family favorite. - 08 Sep 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
