Apple Tart with Almond Cream

FYI, here's recipe for the apple/almond tart for coffee hour today. 

I doubled the rum, but in the future I would probably triple or quadruple what they have in the recipe. I think it would add more depth to the flavors; otherwise it's kind of OMG SWEET ALL THE TIME.

Also, I'd use roasted salted almonds (your food processor will make many noises, but it will be worth it). The raw slivered almonds made the filling a little bland. 

And finally, I would reduce the granulated sugar in the almond filling by, say, a third. And/or sub in some brown sugar.
