Easy Semi-Homemade Apple Tart
A quick and easy delicious Apple Tart that is loaded with apple slices and bakes up in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 1 9 inch (22-23cm) Pie crust, store bought
- 3 large apples, Granny Smith or your choice
- 3 Tbs sugar
- 4 Tbs unsalted butter, sliced thin
- 3 Tbs apricot jam combined with 2 tablespoons water, heated, and strained
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F (190°C). Take out tart shell from freezer.
- Clean, peel, and cut all apples into halves. Core with melon baller. With a very sharp knife, slice the apples crosswise, but don’t cut all the way down; stop just before it reaches the cutting board so that the apples stay attached at the bottom. When you have sliced all the apples, turn each on its side to expose the bottom. Cut off about 1/4 inch of the bottom to remove the part of the apple that has not been sliced through.
- Arrange the slices apple halves like the spokes of a wheel on the pastry leaving a gap in the center. Press down on the apple halves to spread the slices slightly. Arrange the remaining apple slices in concentric circles in the center of the tart starting from the outside and working your way in until there is a small space in the center.
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly on top of the apples and top with thinly sliced butter.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crust is cooked through and the apples are golden brown.
- When the tart is baking, place apricot into a microwave safe bowl and mix with water. Stir well to combine. Zap in microwave until warm, about 1-2 minutes. Strain and set aside.
- When the tart is ready, remove from oven. Brush with the heated apricot jam while the tart is still hot.
- Your delicious apple tart is ready. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, or with whipped cream. Bon Appetit!
