- 1/3 tsp Sel Magique Classic Blend
Maple Custard
- 1.5 cups whole milk

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!
