- 2.5 cups 2 1/2 cups walnut pieces
- 4 tbs unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbs granulated sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1/3 tsp Sel Magique Classic Blend
Maple Custard
- 1.5 cups whole milk

- juice of one lemon
- 1/4 cup apricot jam
Instructions
Walnut Crust
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees f
- In a food processor or chopper, pulse the walnuts until the are finely chopped, and the pieces are about the size of breadcrumbs.
- Place the chopped nuts in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients, tossing together with a fork.
- Press the mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
Maple Custard
- Pour the milk into a small pot and place over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the maple syrup, cornstarch, and Sel Magique.
- Slowly pour the hot milk over the egg mixture, while whisking, to warm the eggs.
- Place the mixture back into the pot and place over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a bubble and becomes very thick.
- Stir in the vanilla and transfer to a heat safe container. Lay plastic wrap over the surface. Chill for 2 hours.
Assemble the Tart
- Spread the maple custard in the walnut tart shell.
- Warm the apple slices in microwave (2-3 minutes) or oven (15-20 minutes) until pliable.
- Roll a slice of apple into a tight spiral and stand it up vertically in the custard. Continue to arrange apple slices in a concentric pattern, around the first one, building a rose pattern.
- Warm the apricot jam, and thin it with lemon juice. Brush this glaze over the apples, for shine and to prevent the apples froom browning. Serve & Enjoy!
