Steps
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Put the biscuits in a large re-sealable freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin into fine crumbs.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a small pan, then add the biscuit crumbs and stir until coated with butter. Tip into the tart tin and, using the back of a spoon, press over the base and sides of the tin to give an even layer.
Step 3
Chill in the fridge while you make the filling. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 4
You can do this in a food processor if you have one. Process for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5
Mix in the eggs, then add the ground almonds and almond extract and blend until well combined. Peel the apples, and cut thin slices of apple.
Step 6
Do this at the last minute to prevent the apple going brown. Arrange the slices over the biscuit base.
Step 7
Spread the frangipane filling evenly on top. Level the surface and sprinkle with the flaked almonds.
Step 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown and set. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 15 minutes.
40 min
Step 9
Remove the sides of the tin. An easy way to do this is to stand the tin on a can of beans and push down gently on the edges of the tin.
Step 10
Transfer the tart, with the tin base attached, to a serving plate. Serve warm with cream, crème fraiche or ice cream.

Substitutions
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.

Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
