After baking the tart, brushing the apples with a little honey adds sweetness and a pretty shine. To soften the apples, you’ll be briefly warming them in a mixture of water, sugar (to sweeten them a little), and lemon juice (to prevent browning).

Be sure to choose apples with a pink or red peel, that hold their shape when they bake, since you don’t want the apples to fall apart. The sweetness is a nice contrast to the tart apples, which are barely sweetened. I’ve had trouble finding it at my grocery store lately, but it’s available on Amazon. Not to be confused with almond paste, almond pastry filling is a sweet, spreadable filling made of sugar, water and almonds, along with a few other ingredients. The crust is crisp, buttery and cookie-like. It’s quick and easy to make, and you can simply press the dough crumbs into the pan if you don’t want to roll out the tart dough. I have a step-by-step post on making shortcrust pastry, so be sure to give it a read.
