Number Of Ingredients 12

10 - sheets phyllo dough (14x9 inches)
- butter-flavored cooking spray
1 1/4 cup(s) blanched almonds
1/3 cup(s) sugar
2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon(s) butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
3 - egg yolks
1 tablespoon(s) plus 2 teaspoons amaretto
1/8 teaspoon(s) almond extract
4 small apples, peeled
2 tablespoon(s) apple jelly, warmed

Steps:

  • Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; coat with cooking spray. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Gently press phyllo into a 9-in. tart pan, allowing ends to extend over edges of pan. Layer with remaining phyllo, spraying after each layer; arrange in pan, rotating phyllo so corners do not overlap. Fold in overhanging phyllo, to form a pastry shell.
  • Place almonds and sugar in a food processor; cover and process until finely ground. Add the flour, butter and salt; pulse until blended. Add the egg yolks, amaretto and almond extract; cover and pulse to blend well. Spread filling over the bottom of phyllo shell. Halve apples and thinly slice widthwise. Arrange apples in a pinwheel pattern over filling.
  • Bake at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until apples are tender. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Remove to a wire rack and cool slightly. Brush warmed jelly over apples. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
