Add the eggs little by little and continue whisking at medium speed.
Be careful not to add more egg if the previous one has not been completely absorbed.Incorporate the almonds and flour. Knead with a spatula until the dough is smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 1/8-1/6 inch. Line a 9-inch springform pan.
Pour the frangipane cream inside. Level with a spatula and set aside.
Divide the apples into 4 wedges each, after washing and drying them. Remove the core and slice to a thickness of 1/16 inch.
Place the apples on top of the frangipane cream, inserting them about 1/3 of the way in. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 45 minutes.
