Knead the flour, butter, and egg into a dough and shape it into a ball. Leave it to rest in the refrigerator for one hour. Next, press it out in a quiche dish. Make sure that the base has an even thickness. Use a fork to prick the pastry — this prevents bubbles from forming during baking. Now bake the pastry at 350°F for 20 minutes in a convection oven. <br /><br />2. Next, stir the sour cream, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, lemon zest, and amaretto into a smooth mixture using a whisk. Only mix in the pudding powder at the end. Now pour the mixture on top of the pastry.<br /><br />3. To create your own marzipan, knead icing sugar, almonds, and amaretto until you have a firm, cohesive, and slightly sticky ball. This requires a bit of elbow grease and time. If the marzipan starts to crumble too much, add some more amaretto in very small amounts. Careful: the marzipan can become too sticky very quickly.<br /><br />4. Remove the cores from the apples using an apple corer and peel decorative spirals into the apples. Carefully cut around the top of the apples using a knife and cut away their bottoms so that there's a flat surface to stand them upright.<br /><br />5. Fill the apples with marzipan and place half of a cinnamon stick in each one. You can also do without the cinnamon sticks. Place the apples in the filling as follows: one apple in the center with the six others surrounding it. Sprinkle the almonds on top of the filling and bake the tart at 340°F for 50 minutes.<br /><br />Full recipe here: http://www.scrumdiddlyumptious.com/baked-apple-tart/
