Stages of cooking

Prepare the filling: peel the apple and pear and cut into small cubes. Mix in a pan with 100 ml of water, cinnamon, honey and anise. Put the pot on the fire, bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes until the fruit is soft.
Remove the anise and blend the mixture until smooth.
The remaining 4 apples and pear cut into cubes and mix with the prepared puree - this will be the filling of the cake. Put it aside.
Prepare the dough: chop the almonds in a blender. Combine in a bowl flour, oatmeal and ground almonds, mix. Add to them honey and slightly heated to a liquid state coconut oil. If honey is not liquid enough, it should be heated in a water bath with coconut oil. Knead the dough for the base of the cake. If it turns out too dry, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees. Coat the form with coconut oil and sprinkle with flour. Laying out the dough with your hands, form the bottom and sides of the cake base.
Put on the dough base filling and sprinkle with almond flakes.

Tips and Tricks for Tart with Spicy Apple Filling Recipe:

Instead of using wheat flour, consider using almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend to make the crust.
Swap the almonds for other nuts like hazelnuts, walnuts, or pecans to give the tart a different flavor and texture.
For a vegan version, substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more honey or water to help it come together.
Serve the tart warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for presenting the dish:

To make the tart look even more visually appealing, cut the apples and pears into different shapes and sizes, such as thin slices or small cubes.
Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon on top for extra flavor and decoration.
Serve the tart on a decorative platter, garnished with fresh fruit or edible flowers to make it even more special.
Offer guests different types of toppings to customize their slice, such as chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
