Nordic apple pie with marzipan, almonds and cinnamon. Super delicious and easy-to-make. A perfect recipe if you are looking to make an authentic Nordic dessert.
We have several recipes for apple pie on our blog - this recipe for apple pie is made with marzipan and is very delicious. We think that an apple pie is best in the fall where the apples are freshly picked and full of tasteful apple juice. However, it is still very delicious all year around.
This apple pie is very simple to make. You simply just mix together the five ingredients for the pie dough, put it in a pie pan, cover it with apple wedges and finally sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon and cane sugar. Then it is baked for about 25 minutes and it is done. We normally serve it warm with sour cream or some homemade vanilla ice cream.
Servings: 6 people

Topping
- 2 apples (sliced in thin wedges)
- 2 tsp cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
- In a bowl; mix the marzipan, sugar and egg using your hands.
- When the marzipan mixture is nice and smooth; add the flour and vanilla powder/essence, and knead.

Notes
Serve the pie warm with sour cream, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

This tart was so delicious and easy to assemble! I love that you give measurements by weight and not volume. Perfect size for 4. I did have a little trouble with it sticking in some places to my tart pan, I may line it with parchment paper next time. Thank you for sharing.

Hi. Yes I also love this tart and I am happy you also like it. Measurement by weight is more precise because you are independed on how compact your ingredients are :-) Yes it can be a good idea to use parchment paper or maybe coat the inside with some butter or a little oil. Regards Kim
