Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams coconut oil, solid
- 20 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 75 grams apricot jam
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 ml non-dairy milk (e.g., almond, soy)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
3. Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture and cut in using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together into a ball. Do not overwork the dough.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
6. Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples, about 2 mm thick. Toss the apple slices in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out on a floured surface to a circle about 11 inches in diameter.
8. Carefully transfer the rolled dough into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess.
9. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern, starting from the outer edge and working inward, slightly overlapping each slice.
10. Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the arranged apples.
11. Combine the apricot jam and non-dairy milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the jam is melted and smooth.
12. With a pastry brush, glaze the top of the apples with the apricot mixture evenly.
13. Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
14. Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving plate.
15. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Dairy-Free Classic French Apple Tart.
