Apple Rose Tart
Sep 28, 2025 08:47 AM
Baked in a snappy pate sucrée short crust, this French Apple Rose Tart is made of thin apple slices nestled in an almond frangipane filling. Layering the apple slices like a rose makes a stunning pattern on a simple, elegant dessert.
This apple almond tart is as beautiful as it is delicious. It looks like a fancy apple pie, but come apple season, it is the perfect dessert for autumn celebrations.
The thinly sliced apples are baked in a rich and custard like almond filling called frangipane. All of the different textures of the crust, filling, and apple topping meld together beautifully.
While the rose pattern takes a bit of patience, the extra effort is worth the ahh-worthy rewards. For an easy French apple tart, toss the slices straight into the partially baked crust for an equally delicious treat.
