Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples, then place the slices in a large bowl.
Add brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the apples, tossing to coat evenly. Set aside.
Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, overlapping slightly to create a rustic tart shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the crust edges for a golden finish.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
