Equipment
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 3 cups Flour
- 12 tablespoon Cold Butter
- ½ cup Shortening
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ cup Ice Water
Filling
- 4 Apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions
- Combine flour, butter, shortening and salt in a food processor.

- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Apple Filling Ingredients:
- Combine apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Roll out one disc of refrigerated pastry to about 10″ in diameter. It doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, imperfections make it more rustic.
- Transfer pastry to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Pour apple mixture into middle of pastry, leaving about 1 inch around the entire circle.
- Fold up the edges around the filling.
- Brush edge of pastry and filling with melted butter.

- Allow tart to cool slightly before removing from baking sheet.
Christina's Notes
- Add Apricot Jam: Brush the top of your tart with apricot preserves or egg wash to achieve a glossy glaze finish to your tart.
- Variation tip: Add a few peach slices or blueberries to your apple tart.
- Flour: If you're baking on the counter, flour your work surface when you roll the dough to prevent it from sticking.
- Alternate ingredient: Sprinkle the top of your tart with a little sugar for a sweet finish, then crimp the edge of crust.
- Alternate cooking method tip: Cook in the air fryer at 350 degrees for roughly ten minutes.
- Sauce: Drizzle with a little caramel sauce.
- Variety: Use a variety of apples for the best flavor.
