Place all the ingredients for the Italian shortbread in the bowl of a stand mixer. Knead with the flad beater at medium speed for 3 minutes or until you get a smooth dough. Alternatively, you can knead by hand in a medium bowl: in that case mix the ingredients with a spoon first.

Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 4-mm-thick oval. Cut out 6 disks, 12 cm diameter each (re-roll the scrapes if necessary). Use the leftover dough to make cookies.

Core and half the apples, then slice them into 1-to-2-cm-thick slices. Place 2 tsp of jam and the apple slices at the center of each shortbread disk, leaving a border of 2.5cm. Fold in the borders, lightly brush them with milk and dust with sugar. Sprinkle a few laminated almonds. Bake for about 25 minutes or until your tarts are evenly golden.
