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.
