Ingredients:

*For the crust:*
- 150 g flour
- 50 g finely ground almonds
- 1 egg yolk
- 70 g powdered sugar
- 100 g butter (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon

*For the apple puree:*
- 3 apples (preferably sweet and aromatic varieties like Golden or Granny Smith)
- 20 g butter
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

*For the cream:*
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
- Vanilla extract (to taste)

*For decoration:*
- Almond flakes
- Cinnamon
- Whipped cream

Preparation:

1. Preparing the crust:
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, and lemon zest. Add the cubed butter and egg yolk. Mix all the ingredients using a mixer or by hand until you obtain a smooth, non-sticky dough. If it's too dry, you can add a tablespoon of cold water.

2. Forming the crust:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface, then transfer it to a greased tart pan. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming during baking. Bake the crust in the oven for 15 minutes or until it turns slightly golden.

3. Preparing the apple puree:
Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut them into larger pieces. Boil them in water for 7-8 minutes, then drain well. In a pan, melt the butter, add the apples, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Sauté until the apples become soft and caramelized. Mash them with a fork or a blender to obtain a smooth puree.

4. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract until frothy. Add the flour and cream cheese, mixing well to avoid lumps.

5. Assembling the tart:
Spread the apple puree evenly over the baked crust. Then pour the egg cream over the puree.

6. Baking the tart:
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cream is firm and slightly golden on top. Let the tart cool before slicing.

7. Serving:
Decorate each slice with whipped cream, almond flakes, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an appetizing look.

Practical tips:
- For a more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of almond extract to the egg cream.
- If you want a gluten-free version, replace the flour with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour.
- You can experiment with other fruits, such as pears or peaches, to vary the flavors.
