Ingredients

Ingredients for Apple Tart Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled (8 Tbsp)
  • 1 large egg chilled
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
Ingredients for Apple Filling:
  • 1 lb Granny Smith apples (3 medium apples)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter (to dot the top)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat Oven to 375˚F and butter a 9" springform pan. Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Dice 1/2 cup chilled butter and cut it into the flour with a pastry blender, for 1 to 2 min or until butter crumbles are pea-sized.
  2. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg well with a fork. Add 1/3 cup cream and stir until blended then drizzle over flour mixture and fold with a spatula just until it comes together. Do not over-mix. Transfer dough to prepared springform pan and spread out evenly (it won't be perfect, but try to seal the edges to keep the apple juices in).
  3. Peel, core and thinly slice apples (about 1/16" thick). Transfer to a large bowl. In a small ramekin, stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon then sprinkle over apple slices and toss gently to combine.
  4. Right away, arrange apple slices in rings starting with the largest slices at the edges and working towards the center, overlapping the slices halfway as you go. Once there is 1/2″ space is left in the center, layer 3 thin apple slices in a long strip. Roll strips together to form a little rose and place in the center.* Dice up 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter and dot the top of the tart with butter. Place pan over a foil lined baking sheet to catch stray apple juices then bake at 375˚F for 30 min.

Notes

  • *You can drizzle with any apple syrup at the bottom of the mixing bowl or discard the extra juice. It won't affect flavor either way, but if you add it, it will leak out more from the bottom fo the pan.
