How to Make Apple Tosca Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. Line a 24cm round cake pan with foil, ensuring it extends over the edges for easy removal. Grease the foil.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  8. Arrange the apple slices neatly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
  10. While the pie is baking, prepare the Tosca topping. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, slivered almonds, water, and heavy cream.
  11. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  12. Remove from heat immediately, as soon as the first few bubbles appear. Do not overcook!
  13. Carefully remove the partially baked pie from the oven.
  14. Quickly and evenly spread the hot Tosca topping over the apples.
  15. Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  16. Let the pie cool completely in the pan before carefully lifting it out using the foil.
  17. Serve and enjoy! (You can also use a 24cm pie dish and bake and serve directly in the dish.)
