To make this Chocolate Hazelnut Tart with Apples, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup hazelnut flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-3 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup hazelnut spread
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, hazelnut flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water, and mix until the dough comes together.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, hazelnut spread, and butter. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Arrange the apple slices on top of the baked crust and pour the chocolate mixture over the apples.
Bake the tart for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set. Let the tart cool to room temperature before serving.
