3 large apples, preferably Braeburn or Fuji, peeled, cored, and cut in 1/2 inch dice (500 grams diced cored apples)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice or lime juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup turbinado sugar, also known as sugar in the raw (50 grams)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup egg whites (60 grams)
2 tablespoons sugar, preferably organic white or brown sugar (30 grams)
1/2 cup slivered almonds (50 grams)
1 9-inch gluten-free dessert pastry shell (or other pastry of your choice), fully baked

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
Toss the apples with the lemon juice in a medium bowl.
3
Line a sheet pan with parchment.

Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add the butter.
5
Wait until it stops foaming and is becoming light brown, and add the diced apples, turbinado sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
6
Spread the apples in a layer and cook without moving them for a couple of minutes, then turn the heat to medium-high and saute, moving the apples around in the pan, until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
7
Scrape out onto the lined sheet pan and allow to cool completely.
8
Spread the cooled apples evenly over the pre-baked tart shell.
9
Make the almond topping.
10
Beat the egg whites lightly in a bowl, just until slightly foamy.

12
Spread evenly over the apples.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
