Instructions
- Set the oven at 190°C (375°F) gas 5.

- Roll out on a lightly floured surface and line an 18 cm (7 inch) flan ring set on a baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of rolled oats on the base of the pastry case to prevent the apple juice from soaking in.
- Peel, core, quarter and slice the apple, and arrange in concentric circles on top of the oats.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour, sugar, lemon rind, cream and egg yolk.
- Add the ground almonds and mix well.

- Fold into the almond mixture. Pour into the flan case.
- Bake the tart for 45 minutes or until the filling is well risen and the pastry is golden.
