Ingredients

Crust

1 3/4 cups Almond Flour
1 tsp Salt
6 Tbsp. Cold Butter diced into chunks
1 tsp. Xanthan gum
1 Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 cup Allulose Sweetener

Filling

2 Large Apples I like Honey Crisp
1/4 cup Allulose Sweetener
1/4 cup Sukrin Gold
1 tbsp. Apple Pie Spice or use a combo of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 Lemon juiced
3 tbsp. Butter melted

Instructions

I highly suggest readying through the post above and watching the video tutorial for this recipe as a guide! Preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease your tart pan and set it aside.
In a food processor, combine the crust ingredients and pulse it together until it forms a solid ball of dough.
Use your hands to press the dough into the tart pan and seal the dough against the sides a bit as well. Use a fork and press a few holes into the crust to help keep it from puffing up too much.
Partially bake it for 10 minutes to set the crust and let it cool to room temperature.
While the crust bakes, slice your apples into half moon shapes that are 1/8th inches thick. Even slices here are super important for layering and even baking. Add all your sliced apples into a bowl.
Next, add your melted butter, lemon juice, and spices to the apples. Add in the sugar and mix gently and fold your apples into the dry ingredients so everything is coated and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Fold again and let it rest another 5-10 minutes or until the apples are somewhat tender and will have a slight bend to them.
Once they have softened a bit, start making your rose shape filling. You do this by layering apple slices around the edge of the pan and working your way in. After each new row of apples are added, place the apple slice between the edges of two slices behind it. This stagers the seams a bit and creates a more visible and defined rose shape.
Once you reach the center, curl one apple slice into a round shape and place in the middle. Finish baking off the tart in the 350 F. oven for 20 minutes. The crust should set, the apples will be slightly golden brown and the filling may bubble a bit.
Serve warm, be sure to let it set for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Top with your favorite low carb ice cream or some keto caramel sauce.

Notes

The crust may not be as crispy as a pie crust, it's meant to mimic more of a sugar cookie. If you prefer more of a crispy crust, try my keto pie crust recipe instead.
