The benefits of acai in an autumn dessert
As fans of acai, at Nossa! we wanted to add a little twist to make the most of the combo of acai and apples. The acai adds a tangy note that balances the sweetness of the lightly caramelized apples.
In addition to adding a lovely purple color to your dessert, acai is rich in antioxidants, fiber and vitamins. As a result, this tart is not only a delicious dessert, but also a healthy one, ideal for ending an autumn meal on a light, original note.
Ideas for apple pie variations!

- Apple and almond tart For added crunch, sprinkle the tart base with slivered almonds, or use a frangipane-style almond cream for a richer, more indulgent base.
