frangipane recipe

My Homemade Frangipane recipe sure sounds fancy, but it couldn&#039;t be easier to make — and is the perfect addition to fruit galettes and is used in a lot of European and French desserts. 

Homemade Frangipane Recipe

¾ cup (6 ounces 170 grams) butter

sugar

½ cup (6 ounces 170 grams) almond meal (almond flour)

all-purpose flour

eggs

almond extract

In a heatproof bowl melt the butter either in the microwave or over a ban-Marie.

Stir in the sugar, almond flour, flour, eggs, and almond extract.

Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using in any of my recipes like my Rustic Summer Fruit Galette. Keep it in the fridge for 7 days or freeze for up to 8 weeks.

This apple frangipane tart is made with a simple, buttery shortcrust pastry, soft almond frangipane filling, juicy apples, and a generous dusting of powdered sugar. The thinly cut apples beautifully arranged on top of the almond cream filling make it an easy, yet impressive dessert everyone will love.

Apple Frangipane Tart

g all-purpose flour

¼ tsp kosher salt

butter

milk

unsalted butter (room temp)

g sugar

egg (room temp)

egg yolk (room temp)

tsp vanilla extract

tsp almond extract

almond flour

honeycrisp apples (thinly sliced)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

In a medium bowl combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.

Cut the cold butter  into cubes and toss in the flour. Using your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until pea sized pieces are left.

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Add to the dough, and use a rubber spatula to mix until cohesive dough forms.

Shape the dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least one hour or overnight.

On lightly floured parchment paper, roll the chilled dough out to ⅛” in thickness. Flip the dough over onto a 9” tart pan and coax it to fit up against the sides. Cut the excess dough off, then cover with plastic wrap, and chill for an additional hour.

Near the end of the chill time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Dock the chilled dough with the tines of a fork all over the bottom and sides. Line the dough with aluminum foil, then fill with pie weights, concentrating the weights on the edges to hold up the sides.

Place the tart pan on a baking sheet, then bake the shortcrust pastry for about 16-18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center no longer looks doughy. Set aside to cool completely.

Turn down the oven to 325 degrees F.

For the shortcrust pastry:

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and salt with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.

Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and extracts until fully combined.

Then, add in the flours and mix until fully combined.

For the frangipane:

Spread the frangipane into the cooled shortcrust pastry, then arrange the apple slices on top.

Bake the tart for about 45-50 minutes until the frangipane has puffed up and no longer looks wet.

Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan for at least one hour.

Remove from the pan, then dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
