Directions
-
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cold butter, egg, salt, sugar, and sour cream (or yogurt). Mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a 22 cm (8.5-inch) baking pan, evenly spreading it across the base. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla sugar, sugar, corn starch, and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
-
Arrange the sliced apples evenly on top of the dough in the pan. Pour the sour cream mixture over the apples. Optionally, sprinkle almond flakes on top for added texture.
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the assembled tart for approximately 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden.
-
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
