Steps:
- To prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9″ tart pan (even if your pan is non-stick). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour and salt, and stir to combine. Drizzle in the butter and maple syrup, and stir until the mixture is moistened throughout.
- Dump the mixture onto the prepared tart pan. Press the mixture evenly across the base, then use the heel of your palm to press it up the sides as well. Use your fingers to try to make the dough along the sides even in height and depth (see photo). Prick the base of the crust all over with a fork to prevent it from bubbling up. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until it's lightly firm to the touch and just starting to turn golden at the edges. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, to prepare the filling: Peel the apples and cut them into slices 1/8 to 1/4″ thick. Transfer the slices to a medium mixing bowl and add just 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup, and the lemon juice and cinnamon. Toss until the mixture is evenly distributed.
- Arrange the apple slices across the base however you'd like, overlapping them as much as possible (I tried to arrange mine like a rose and had a few apple slices left over). Reserve the maple syrup/lemon mixture at the bottom of the bowl for brushing the apples later.
- Bake the tart for 25 minutes, then pull it out of the oven and gently brush the remaining maple syrup/lemon mixture over the apples (it's fine if you push some of the slices down in the process). Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the apples are very tender and the crust is deeply golden around the edges. While the tart is still hot, gently brush the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup over the apples.
- Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes. If you'd like, sift or sprinkle a little extra cinnamon over the top. If you used a tart pan with a removable bottom, remove the sides. Use a sharp chef's nice to slice the tart into even wedges and serve.

GLUTEN-FREE APPLE-ALMOND TART
This tart is inspired by a recipe by Jacquy Pfeiffer, from his cookbook "The Art of French Pastry." The apples are caramelized first with sugar and spices, then spread in the pastry, topped with an almond, egg white and sugar topping, and baked.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add the butter. Wait until it stops foaming and is becoming light brown, and add the diced apples, turbinado sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread the apples in a layer and cook without moving them for a couple of minutes, then turn the heat to medium-high and sauté, moving the apples around in the pan, until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape out onto the lined sheet pan and allow to cool completely.
- Spread the cooled apples evenly over the pre-baked tart shell.
- Make the almond topping. Beat the egg whites lightly in a bowl, just until slightly foamy. Whisk in the sugar and stir in the almonds. Spread evenly over the apples.
- Place the tart on a sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust and topping are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the almond flour. This will ensure that the flour is finely ground and will help to create a smooth, even crust.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help to prevent them from browning.
- Brush the apples with lemon juice. This will help to keep them from oxidizing and turning brown.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
