APPLE AND ALMOND TART
Portions : 4 - Preparation time : 10 minutes - Cooking time : 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, 2 whole + 1 yolk
- 125 g (4 1/2 oz) sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 125 g (4 1/2 oz) unsalted butter, soft

- 1 lemon, zest

- Roll out the shortcrust pastry on the work surface and place in a buttered mould.
- Pour the prepared mixture into the tin.
