Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Vegan butter (cold)
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 large Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for apples)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Apricot jam (vegan)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Prepare the pastry dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold vegan butter, cutting it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 3 tablespoons of ice water to the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to fit the tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, gently pressing it into the edges and trimming off any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate while preparing the apples.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples evenly. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix gently to coat.
Arrange the apple slices in a concentric circle over the tart base, starting from the outer edge and working inward, slightly overlapping the slices for a beautiful presentation.
Place the tart in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized and the crust is golden brown.
While the tart bakes, prepare the glaze: Heat the apricot jam and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Strain if necessary to remove any chunks.
Once the tart is baked, remove it from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes. Gently brush the warm apricot glaze over the apples for a glossy finish.
Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Optionally, accompany it with vegan whipped cream or a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream.
