Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add cold water a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the dough chills, peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples.
Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9x9-inch tart pan.
Transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, rolled oats, and chopped walnuts to create the topping.
Arrange the apple slices over the crust in a pleasing pattern.
Sprinkle the oats and walnut mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your naturally sweetened apple tart slices!
