Ingredients
- 1 stick butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, plus extra, melted, for brushing
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons ice cold water
- 3 Granny Smith apples
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Special Equipment: 9 1/2-inch tarte pan
Directions
Place the cubed butter in the fridge while you assemble all your ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor, place the flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand. Add the cold water and pulse again until the dough just begins to come together in a large lump. Pour the dough into the tarte pan and, using your fingers, press the dough into the pan, forming a crust. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the apples.
Peel the apples, cut into quarters, core, and then slice thinly. Place in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Remove the crust from the refrigerator and dump the apples onto the crust, spreading them evenly. Brush the whole tarte with melted butter and bake until the tarte is golden and the apples have cooked down a fair amount, about 1 hour. Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve with vanilla ice cream

Made this tonight. The crust is out of this world! Followed the recipe exactly, apples were dry and needed more sugar and spice (the Granny Smith's I used were small but fit perfectly in the crust. Needs something at the end of baking to moisten the apples. Will try again with apple preserves. For the most part, it's a really good, quick easy recipe.

This was great! The crust was easy, fast, and had a great taste and texture. The first time I made it, I used Mac apples, and the top was dry, the bottom soupy. After that, I used the Granny Smiths and it was perfect. Use the right apples!
