Critical Success Points

  • Mix the cold butter with the flour without overheating the dough.
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Distribute the almond powder/flour mixture to absorb the apples' moisture.
  • Bake at 200 °C for 25 minutes to achieve a golden crust and caramelised apples.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the tonka bean sparingly: it contains coumarin, consume in moderation.
  • Be careful of hot oven surfaces and stovetop plates.
