Apple and hazelnut tart recipe

We are going to incorporate new flours into our desserts. In this case, for the apple pie, I have chosen chestnut flour, although you can use common flour instead, I would like you to start trying the flour that the market offers us today.

This cake is incredibly good, so much so that everyone who tries it confirms it, so we encourage you to prepare it. In the event that you cannot find chestnut flour, remember that you can substitute it with common wheat flour, or whole wheat flour, but I would love for you to try this fabulous cake as I have prepared it and tell me what you think. Keep reading and discover how to make an apple and hazelnut tart.
