How To Make tender & flaky rustic apple tart - cass's

  • 1
    Make your crust..can either make your own, or I posted mine. If using mine - this is how I make. In food processor; pulse dry ingredients a couple times. Add shortening and butter, Pulse 8 - 10 times, or until butter is in tiny pieces. Add water just until it comes together and forms a ball.
  • 2
    Place dough in plastic wrap and chill...( I only chilled long enough to make filling.)
  • 3
    Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Apple filling: In a medium bowl; add first 7 ingredients, mix well and let set for at least 10 minutes to make some juices.
  • 4
    Roll the dough from the center outward, on a lightly floured counter. You don't want the edges perfect, its rustic looking after all. So don't worry about perfection.
  • 5
    Place the crust on a baking sheet.
  • 6
    Spoon the apple mixture on the center of the crust, spreading out evenly; making sure you leave at least 3 inches of crust to fold over the filling.
  • 7
    Now, fold the edges of crust over the filling, at least 3 inches of dough.
  • 8
    Dot apples with the butter. In a small bowl, mix egg with water and brush the dough and sprinkle with sugar...this is optional.
  • 9
    Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Let cool and slice in wedges. Great with ice cream.
