Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 60 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 4 Apples (Granny Smith or any tart variety)
• 200 milliliters Dry white wine
• 75 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, sift together the flour and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips, a pastry cutter, or a fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition, until the dough just starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is chilling, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.

Step 6

In a saucepan, combine the white wine, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Step 7

Add the sliced apples to the wine mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to form a slurry. Add this to the wine mixture in the saucepan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 10

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 11

Layer the cooked apple slices over the tart crust in an overlapping circular pattern.

Step 12

Pour the thickened wine mixture evenly over the apples.

Step 13

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the milk to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the tart crust with the wash.

Step 14

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 15

Let the tart cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature.
