Apple Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    25 g solidified coconut oil, grated
    100 g + 5g butter
    160 g plain flour
    Pinch None salt
    30 g caster sugar
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    40 g hazelnuts
    750 g apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
    3-4 tbsp lemon juice
    3 tbsp apple jelly or apricot jam
    2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs
Preparation
    Toss apple slices with lemon juice and set aside. Mix coconut oil with 1/2 cup butter, flour and a pinch of salt. Add around 4 tbsp cold water and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F. Grease a piece of foil with oil. Caramelize sugar with 1 tbsp water in a small pan until golden. Remove from heat and add remaining butter, cinnamon and hazelnuts. Spread mixture over foil. When nut brittle has set, remove from foil and coarsely chop.
    Meanwhile, on a floured surface, roll out pastry to form a 12 inch circle. Grease a 10 inch tart pan then press pastry into prepared pan and trim. Prick pastry base with a fork and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Arrange apple slices in an overlapping pattern, heat jelly then brush over apples. Bake for 30-40 mins. Sprinkle with nut brittle and cook for another 5 mins. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
