Description
A simple, rustic tart featuring thinly sliced Honeycrisp apples baked in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 4 tablespoons ice water
- 3 medium Honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the apple slices over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge.
- Fold the dough border up and over the edges of the apples to create a rustic crust.
- Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a flakier crust, keep the butter and water very cold.
- You can substitute other firm apples if Honeycrisp apples are unavailable.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
