Makes 6 mini tartlets.

Ingredients:

Crust: 

200 gr. puff pastry

1 egg, beaten

Filling: 

100 gr. (1 cup) ground almonds

100 gr. cold butter or margarine, cut into cubes 

100 gr. (1/2 cup) sugar

Pinch of salt

1 large egg

½ - 1 tsp. cinnamon

1 Tbsp. instant pudding powder

Apples

3 Gala apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths

Juice of 1 lemon

Spiced honey:

3-4 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

¼ cup dark honey

½ tsp. ground allspice 

Toppings:

¼ cup honey

½ cup pomegranate seeds

Directions:

To prepare the crust: Flour your work surface and then roll out the puff pastry until it’s ½ cm thick. Line your greased tartlet pans or a muffin pan with the dough. Press it down into the pans. Brush the dough with the beaten egg, then place it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes. 

To prepare the almond cream filling: Add the almonds, butter (or margarine), sugar and salt to a food processor, and blend until mixture is crumbly. Add the egg, cinnamon and vanilla pudding powder and blend until mixture is creamy. 

Peel and core the apples, then slice thinly. Add the apple pieces to a bowl and add the lemon juice. Set aside. 

To prepare the spiced honey: Mix the melted butter (or margarine) with the honey. 

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each frozen tartlet. Arrange the apple slices on top so that they completely cover the filling. Drizzle the honey mixture on top generously, then sprinkle on the allspice. 

Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 180° for 20-30 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown and the apple pieces have softened. 

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle more honey on top and serve with pomegranate seeds.
