Pastry

1.Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced). Grease a 24cm (base diameter) round fluted tart pan with removable base. Process hazelnut meal, flours, sifted icing sugar and cinnamon in a food processor until combined. Add spread and egg yolk; process until mixture just comes together. Bring pastry together, then shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.

2.Roll pastry between sheets of baking paper to 3mm thick. Carefully transfer to prepared pan, then line (pastry will be crumbly, so press and shape into pan).

3.Layer apple mixture over cream cheese mixture (see below). Bake for 35 minutes or until golden and set. Cool in pan. Serve sliced.
