Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar together.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch-wide circle and carefully transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, overlapping as needed, to create a rustic tart.
Brush the folded edges of the dough with the beaten egg to give the crust a golden shine.
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 garnishing with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
