  • Preheat the oven to 180° C.
  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the crust until you obtain a sandy mixture. Do not knead too much, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • On a clean, floured table, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough and place it in a 20 cm diameter tart pan, making sure the dough is well adhered to the pan. Prick the dough with a fork and refrigerate.
  • Bake the tart base covered with aluminum foil and chickpeas or beans for weight, for 10 minutes, remove and set aside.
  • Core the apples and cut four pieces into moderately thick slices. Cut the other 6 into very thin half-moons for decoration.
  • Place the apples in a bowl and mix with the refined and brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Drain the apples with the help of your Bounty® paper towel. Place the apple slices in the base, and on top, form several roses with the half-moons.
  • Bake the tart for 20 minutes covered or until the crust is well cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the tart with vanilla ice cream and cajeta.
