Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
3 Tbs coconut flour
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated plant based organic shortening at room temperature (I used Nutiva organic shortening which is a mixture of coconut and red palm oil)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp coconut sugar
1 egg
2 Tbs water

Tart Filling Ingredients

1/3 cup sugar-free jam I like the St. Dalfour brand
2 1/2 apples sliced thin (1/8th of an inch max)
1 Tbs coconut sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbs water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a 9.5 inch round tart pan ( I used a le creuset tart dish and it worked great.)
Add 3/4 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour, 3 Tbs coconut flour, 1/2 cup non-hydrogenated plant based organic shortening, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp coconut sugar to a food processor. Mix until fully integrated. It should be thick and creamy looking.
Add 2 Tbs of water and 1 egg to the food processor and and mix. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Take the pie crust mixture out of the food processor and roll it into a ball in your hands. Put the ball into the center of the tart dish and push it gently into the pan until it has been evenly distributed. I find that it helps to have slightly wet hands to do this so it doesn't stick too much. Also, make sure there aren't holes in the crust when you are pushing it into the dish.
Then, poke the pie crust with a fork to make small holes all around the bottom of the pie dish, and push the pie crust into the sides of the tart dish with a fork.
Next, add 1/3 cup of jam on to of the prepared pie crust and evenly distribute it with the back of a spoon.
Add the sliced apples on top of the jam. Make sure to overlap them while placing them in a circular pattern. It helps to save the smaller apple slices for the middle of the pie.
In a small bowl, mix 2 Tbs water, 1 Tbs coconut sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon together. Evenly pour this mixture on top of apples in the tart.
Bake the tart until golden, about 45 minutes. Then let the tart cool before serving.

Notes

Instead of tapioca flour, you can use arrowroot powder.

Instead of coconut sugar, you can use white sugar ( but then the recipe won't be Paleo).
