  2. To make the apple filling, place the apples, sugar, apple juice and lemon juice in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook to a pulp Taste and add more sugar or a squeeze of lemon, to taste.

  3. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.

  4. To make the topping, mix the egg whites together with the flaked almonds and icing sugar in a bowl.

  5. To assemble, spoon some of the almond paste into the base of the tart. Add the apple filling, layer over some fig slices and spoon over a thin layer of the flaked almond topping. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through. Serve with the crème fraîche.
