Cheat Day Apple Tart - One Of My Go To Deserts


















This Apple Tart or Tarte aux Pommes is one of my favorites and you will love it! It's relatively easy to make.  Once you master this dough you can use if for lots of different deserts. I like to use it for more rustic tarts where you just dump the fruit in the middle, fold up the sides and bake. It took me awhile to figure out the   best way to slice these apples but finally after a few years I think I have finally figured it out!

Recipe:

Tart Crust (Pate Sucree)
2 cups flour
Pinch salt
1 tbsp. sugar
12 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 tsp. or less fresh nutmeg (optional)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon (optional)

Filling
3-5 granny smith apples
1/4 cup sugar

Glaze
1/2 cup unsweetened apricot jam (find a jam that is sweetened with fruit juices - like St. Dalfour)
2 tbsp. Calvados (Apple Brandy)
If you don't like the slightly liquor taste of Brandy you can thin the apricot jam 2 tbsp.w/water.
