Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 3 pieces Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Walnuts (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 6

In the meantime, prepare the apple filling by combining the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix to coat the apples evenly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess dough.

Step 8

Arrange the apple slices in an overlapping pattern within the tart shell. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the apples.

Step 9

Drizzle the honey over the apples and walnuts for added sweetness.

Step 10

Lightly brush the edges of the tart crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden appearance when baked.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 12

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.

Step 13

Optional: Dust the tart with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Apple Walnut Tart!
