1. Can I make the crust ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the crust dough up to two days in advance. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge. You can also freeze it for up to a month.

2. What’s the best way to store leftover apple tart?

Store leftover tart in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you need longer storage, pop it in the fridge—it’ll last for about four days. Reheat slices in the oven for a few minutes to get that freshly baked feel.

3. Can I use store-bought crust?

Sure thing! While homemade crust is worth the effort, a good-quality store-bought crust works in a pinch. No judgment here!

4. Can I use other fruit instead of apples?

Totally. Pears, peaches, or even plums would work beautifully. Just adjust the spices and sugar slightly to suit the fruit.

5. How do I know when the tart is done?

The crust should be golden brown, and the apples should be tender but not mushy. If you’re unsure, poke a slice with a fork—it should go in easily without too much resistance.

Cuisine: French
Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg yolk
2–4 tbsp cold water
5 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
Dash of salt
Apricot preserves (for glazing)

Instructions

Make the Crust: Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Mix in egg yolk and water to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Apple Filling: Toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Roll Out the Dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough to 1/8 inch thick and transfer to a tart pan.
Assemble the Tart: Arrange apple slices in a spiral pattern on the crust and pour over any juices from the bowl.
Bake: Bake tart for 35–40 minutes until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes.
Add the Glossy Finish: Warm apricot preserves and brush over the apples for a shiny finish.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flakier crust. Thin apple slices cook more evenly. Pair with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for a delightful treat.
