Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free multipurpose flour, almond flour, and kosher salt until well blended. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg, blending until creamy. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least one hour.
- Peel and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces, then toss them with fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced apples, cooking for 3-5 minutes until they soften.
- In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir this mixture along with vanilla extract into the sautéed apples and cook until thickened.
- In a medium bowl, combine gluten-free flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt for the pecan streusel. Mix in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Poke the chilled crust with a fork and sprinkle with gluten-free flour and granulated sugar.
- Spread the apple filling onto the crust and drizzle caramel sauce over it.
- Distribute the chilled pecan streusel over the filling.
- Bake the tart for 15 minutes, then increase temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Reduce the oven temperature back to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 32-38 minutes more, or until the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving.

Notes
Chill the dough for at least an hour for best results. Use tart apple varieties for balance.
