Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 60 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 30 milliliters Cold water
- 4 medium Apples
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Low-sugar apricot jam
- 1 teaspoon Water
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
Add the low-fat plain yogurt to the flour mixture and mix until crumbly.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. Toss the slices in a bowl with the lemon juice and ground cinnamon to prevent browning and to enhance their flavor.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 2-3 millimeters thick, and transfer it to a tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim off any excess dough.
Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the crust, starting from the outside and overlapping slightly as you work toward the center.
Brush the apples lightly with honey for a hint of natural sweetness.
Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
While the tart bakes, heat the low-sugar apricot jam and 1 teaspoon of water in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened.
Once the tart is out of the oven, brush the warm apricot glaze evenly over the apples to give them a glossy finish.
Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Low Fat Tarte aux Pommes!
