Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free multipurpose flour, almond flour, and kosher salt. Work in softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg and mix until a smooth dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up.
- While the dough chills, peel and dice your choice of sweet and tart apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with fresh lemon juice to coat and prevent browning.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Add diced apples and sauté them for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly softened. Sprinkle in brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stirring until thickened.
- In a separate bowl, mix gluten-free flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cubed unsalted butter until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled tart dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick and transfer it to a tart pan. Poke holes with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Spread the cooled apple filling evenly over the prepared crust. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce, then sprinkle with pecan streusel.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, then remove weights and parchment. Increase the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the streusel is golden. Reduce back to 350°F and bake for 32-38 minutes until set.
- Allow the tart to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving warm.

Notes
Chill the dough thoroughly before rolling out to prevent shrinkage during baking. Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid toughness in the crust. Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for balanced flavor.
