Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup rolled oats
• 3 apples
• 2 tablespoons water, or more as needed
• 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 6 tablespoons almond meal
• 2 tablespoons apricot preserves, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Step 2

Blend oats in a blender until flour-like. Combine oats and almond meal in a bowl. Add oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt; mix until crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, mixing after each addition. Continue until dough is smooth and comes together in a ball.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper; flatten with the palm of your hand and shape into a thin circle. Transfer dough to a baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of preserves on top.

Step 4

Peel, halve, core, and thinly slice apples. Arrange on dough in an overlapping circle from outer edge to center.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until tart is golden brown with slightly darker edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Place on a cooling rack.

Step 6

Combine remaining 1 tablespoon preserves and 1 teaspoon water in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in a microwave until melted, about 10 seconds; brush over tart.
