Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 125 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 50 grams icing sugar
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 4 pieces medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 piece egg, beaten (for brushing)
- 3 tablespoons apricot jam (optional, for glazing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and icing sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add cold water gradually and mix until dough clumps together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 20 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 35cm x 20cm, to fit a baking sheet or tart pan.
Carefully line the baking sheet or tart pan with the rolled dough, trimming any excess from the edges.
In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Arrange the apple slices over the pastry base in an even layer.
Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg to give a lovely golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Optionally, melt apricot jam in a small saucepan over low heat and brush over the warm apple tart for a shiny glaze.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before cutting into slices and serving. Enjoy your apple tart slice warm or at room temperature.
