## Steps

1. Put the diced apples and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat.
2. Simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't catch.
3. Add sugar to taste once the puree is thick and well cooked.
4. Chill the apple puree in the fridge.
5. Put all the ingredients for the almond macaroon mixture into a bowl and mix well until smooth.
6. Put the plain flour, icing sugar, salt and butter into a food processor and pulse quickly until combined into a fine mixture.
7. Tip into a bowl and bring together into a dough with the beaten egg.
8. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper.
9. Remove one sheet of baking paper and prick the dough with a fork in several places.
10. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (fan) for about 12-15 minutes.
11. Spread the now-chilled apple puree over the baked base, then spoon the almond macaroon mixture on top without mixing it into the puree.
12. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan) for about 15 minutes, until the almond macaroon topping is a good golden colour.
13. Let the traybake cool slightly on the tray, then cut into slices.
