Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 60 ml Ice water
• 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 75 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large bowl.

Step 6

Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the apples. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush this egg wash over the edges of the tart to give it a golden finish.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
