"This country-style tart is one of the easiest to make because of its free-form shape. To make the recipe even easier when you're short on time, use purchased pie crust dough for the pastry. The recipe calls for sweet Golden Delicious and tart Granny Smith apples, but you can use any apple, or combination of apples, that you like...."
