Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 125 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 50 grams icing sugar
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 4 pieces medium apples, peeled and sliced
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 piece egg, beaten (for brushing)
• 3 tablespoons apricot jam (optional, for glazing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and icing sugar.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add cold water gradually and mix until dough clumps together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, approximately 35cm x 20cm, to fit a baking sheet or tart pan.

Step 6

Carefully line the baking sheet or tart pan with the rolled dough, trimming any excess from the edges.

Step 7

In a large bowl, toss the peeled and sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 8

Arrange the apple slices over the pastry base in an even layer.

Step 9

Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg to give a lovely golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 11

Optionally, melt apricot jam in a small saucepan over low heat and brush over the warm apple tart for a shiny glaze.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool slightly before cutting into slices and serving. Enjoy your apple tart slice warm or at room temperature.
