Quick and Easy Apple Tart in One Hour
An easy apple tart recipe that you can make from start to finish in a little over an hour.
Equipment
- 11x7 rectangular tart pan with a removeable bottom
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour (209g)
- 8 tbsp. sugar
- pinch salt
- 12 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ cup water
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- 3 peeled, quartered, and sliced in ⅛ inch slices Granny Smith apples
- juice of one lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, two tablespoons of the sugar and the salt. Cut ten tablespoons of the butter into half inch pieces, and then using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture. Cut in until the butter and flour are the size of peas.
- Then, add the vanilla, and the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to stick together when you pinch it.
- Press the dough up the sides of the tart pan, and then all over the bottom.
- In the empty dough bowl, mix together four tablespoons of the sugar with a tablespoon of flour and a half teaspoon of cinnamon. Cut in two tablespoons of butter, until a sandy mixture is formed. Sprinkle this all over the bottom of the tart.
- Shingle the apples all over the top of the tart, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with two tablespoons of sugar.
- Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes until the crust is browned.
- Cool the tart pan on a wire rack until it's completely cool, about thirty minutes. Remove the sides and serve.
