1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Grate the apples into a bowl.
   • Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, a little cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Mix well and set aside.
2. Prepare the Shortcrust Pastry:
   • In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs with 50g of sugar until well combined.
   • Add 80ml of oil and mix thoroughly.
   • Mix in 8g of baking powder and 300g of flour. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth, non-sticky ball.
3. Roll Out the Dough:
   • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a tart mold with dimensions of 18×27 cm (7×10 inches).
   • Place the dough into the greased tart mold, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
4. Assemble and Bake the Tart:
   • Spread the apple filling evenly over the pastry base.
   • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of apricot jam over the filling.
   • Place the tart in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
5. Prepare the Icing:
   • In a small bowl, beat 1 egg white until frothy.
   • Gradually add 125g of icing sugar, beating until smooth.
   • Stir in 2 tablespoons of apricot jam.
6. Finish the Tart:
   • Once the tart has cooled slightly, spread the icing over the top.
   • Let the icing set for a few minutes before serving.
