Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 3 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon Marsala wine
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar.
Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough gently into the pan and trim the edges.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Arrange the apple slices in a decorative pattern over the tart crust. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar evenly over the top.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the orange marmalade and Marsala wine. Heat until the mixture becomes a smooth glaze, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the tart from the oven and immediately brush the orange Marsala glaze evenly over the apples.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
