Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup gluten-free oat flour
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup tapioca flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
¼ cup Mott's® Cinnamon Applesauce
1 large egg
½ cup gluten-free almond paste, broken into bite-size pieces
¼ cup Mott's® Cinnamon Applesauce
1 tablespoon gluten-free oat flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 medium peaches
1 tablespoon apricot jam or other light-colored jam

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Make the crust: Pulse the oat flour, almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor for 5 seconds to blend.
  • Add the cubed butter and pulse 8-10 times more until a moist, crumbly dough starts to form. Add the applesauce and blend until a soft dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and use your fingers to press the dough into 6 mini tart pans (or 1 9-inch tart pan if you don't have mini shells), making sure the dough rises slightly above the edges of each pan.
  • Place the tarts on a rimmed baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes while the oven heats.
  • Bake the tarts for 10 minutes, until they start to brown at the edges. Remove from the oven and cool the crusts to room temperature.
  • Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees F.
  • Make the filling: Beat the egg, almond paste, and applesauce together with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed until smooth.
  • Add the oat flour and powdered sugar, and beat on low speed to blend thoroughly.
  • Divide the almond custard evenly between the cooled tart crusts.
  • Pit and slice the peaches into 1/4-inch thick half-moons and fan the peach slices across each tart crust. Whisk the jam with 1 tablespoon water to make a glaze. Brush the peaches with the glaze using a pastry brush. Return the tarts to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes more, until the custard is matte and puffy at the edges. Serve immediately.
