(Recipe) Apple plum Crumble Tart

Instructions

1. Make the dough

   • Cut the dates into pieces. Peel the banana and break it into chunks.

   • Place the dates, banana, butter, egg, salt, almond flour, and oat flour in a food processor. Blend until a smooth dough forms.

   • Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it, and let it rest in the fridge.

2. Prepare the plums

   • Score the plums with a small cross and dip them in boiling water for 30 seconds. This will make peeling easy.

   • Peel, pit, and cut the plums into medium-sized chunks.

3. Bake the crust

   • Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan).

   • Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of a 26 cm springform pan, creating a small raised edge.

   • Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes.

4. Cook the fruit filling

   • Peel, core, and dice the apples.

   • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and gently stew the apple pieces for about 3 minutes over low heat.

   • Stir in the cardamom and sprinkle the agar agar evenly over the apples. Mix well and cook for 1 more minute.

   • Remove from the heat and gently fold in the plum pieces.

5. Assemble the tart

   • Spread the apple-plum mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.

   • Crumble the remaining dough over the top and sprinkle with flaked almonds.

6. Bake

   • Bake the tart for 20 minutes at 160°C, then increase the temperature to 180°C for 5 minutes to give the top a golden glow.

   • Keep an eye on it — every oven is different and you don’t want the top to get too dark.

7. Cool and serve

   • Let the tart cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.

   • Store in the fridge.
