2 tbsp vanilla sugar
30 g KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK
100 ml cream

For the apple roses

7 red apples
200 ml water

Preparation

Prepare the dough:
Mix the flour KOMEKO KNUSPERLUST, ground almonds, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the eggs and diced cold butter. Mix the ingredients with a fork or a hand mixer until a sandy mixture forms. Then knead into a smooth dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat) or 160°C (fan oven).
Tart base:
Roll out the dough, place it in a greased pan, and prick it a few times with a fork. Then cover the dough with baking paper and place weights (e.g., rice, beans) on top. Bake for 15 minutes.
Prepare the pudding:
Heat milk, sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolks and KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK while stirring until the mixture thickens considerably. Stir in the cream until creamy. Then cover and refrigerate.
Prepare apples:
Quarter, core, and thinly slice the apples. Heat the sugar, water, and cinnamon and sauté the apple slices for about 1 minute.
Shaping apple roses:Wrap the slices overlapping with the red shell facing outwards (smaller slices inside and larger ones outside).
Finish the tart:
Pour the filling into the base, place the apple roses on top and bake for 30–35 minutes.
Serve and enjoy: Bon appetit!
