Ingredients
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 50 grams sugar
- 5 grams ground cinnamon
- 50 grams butter, cold and sliced thinly
- 10 grams plain flour
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a lightly floured surface and place it on a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, 30 grams sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Arrange the apple mixture on the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2.5 cm border. Dot the apples with the thinly sliced butter.
- Fold the border of the pie crust over the apples, pleating it as you go to create a rustic, free-form tart.
- Sprinkle the remaining 20 grams of sugar over the folded crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Make sure the butter is cold to create a flaky crust.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
