Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 25 grams Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 4 medium Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together but is not sticky. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 4

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the apple slices in a bowl and toss with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges.

Step 7

Fold the edges of the dough over the apple slices, pleating as needed to create a rustic border.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush this mixture over the exposed crust to promote browning.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 10

In a small saucepan, gently warm the apricot jam until it is loose enough to brush. Lightly brush the jam over the apples for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
