Simple Apple Tart Recipe
It’s apple-picking season, but what do you do with all those apples afterward?? I have to admit looking at all of the photos of people on Instagram going apple picking and eating cider-flavored donuts has me feeling a little case of FOMO. Although I haven’t found a local orchard to visit, but I did recently order a little too many apples in my last Shipt order, so in the spirit of all things fall I decided to try my hand at a classic apple dessert.
This apple tart recipe is literally one of the easiest desserts to make even if you’re not so skilled in the kitchen. And of course, if you’re like me and don’t quite have the time to make the dough from scratch it’s quite all right to use store-bought piecrust! (No judgment here)
But enough talking let’s get to the recipe!
Simple Apple Tart
Ingredients
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons melted
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
4 large Golden Delicious apples—peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices
1 store prepared pie crust
Apricot Glaze: 2 tablespoons melted apricot preserves
Instructions
1. Unroll dough onto parchment paper.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons of the sugar with 1 tablespoon of flour and sprinkle over the dough.
3. Arrange the apple slices on top of the dough in a circle while overlapping them.
4. Fold the dough around the perimeter over the apples.
5. Brush the apples and dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
6. Refrigerate the unbaked tart for about 10 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 400°. Bake for 1 hour, or until the apples are tender and golden and the crust is deep golden brown.
8.Brush the apples with the melted preserves.
9. Lift the parchment onto a wire rack and let the tart cool slightly before serving or enjoy with some ice cream while it’s nice and warm!
