- ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar divided
- ½ cup almond flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pate Sucree by mixing flour, confectioner’s sugar, salt, lemon zest, and chilled butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and ice water, and mix until a dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough and fit it into a tart pan before baking it for 15 minutes until lightly golden.

- Slice the apples thinly and soak in a mixture of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Spread the almond mixture into the tart shell, then arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top to resemble roses.
- Dot the apples with remaining butter and bake for 30 minutes or until apples are tender.
- Drizzle with honey before serving.
