Other variations of the tart include substituting the egg custard for a layer of almond paste,^[3] or almond and apple paste, or frangipane almond pastry all topped with a pattern of semi-circular apple slices (some are decorated with a pastry lattice and most are made with short crust pastry).

In the UK, the French bakers chain Paul sells the dish under the product name Tarte Flan Normand,^[4] while some UK supermarkets sell the product in the Frozen section.^[5]
