Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick cold butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon ice water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a food processor, combine the flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim the edges of the dough and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat in the butter until smooth. Add the eggs and egg yolk and beat until well combined. Fold in the diced apples.
5. Pour the frangipane filling into the pre-baked tart shell. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and set. Let cool completely before serving.
