Ree’s Dutch Apple Tart has a biscuity base that resembles shortbread, and an oat crumble topping, with slices of apple and caramel in the middle. Served hot with ice cream, it is a truly memorable dessert.

Ingredients

Tart Dough:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

3 sticks salted butter, at room temperature

Pinch kosher salt

Filling:

5 Honeycrisp apples, sliced thin

2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2/3 cup bottled caramel sauce

Crumble Topping:

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup quick oats

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup granulated sugar

Pinch kosher salt

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted

Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

  1. For the tart dough: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, make the base by beating together the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt with a hand mixer until a well-blended dough forms. Press the dough into the bottom of an 18-by-26-inch sheet pan. Set aside.
  3. For the filling: In a separate bowl, toss the apple slices with the flour and cinnamon. Scatter over the dough base, covering as much surface as possible. Drizzle the caramel over the apples.
  4. For the crumble topping: Mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt in a bowl. While mixing, slowly drizzle in the butter until well combined. With your hands, sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples and caramel.
  5. Bake until the edges begin to brown and the crumb is golden, 35 to 37 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with vanilla ice cream.

WOW! This was amazing! I used my pampered chef stoneware sheet pan and the bottom was nice, crispy and chewy! I did cook it 15-20 min longer than suggested because the top wasn’t brown yet. Barely made it through the day because people kept taking bites while cooking lol. It’s all I can do not to make another one until Christmas!
