Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoon Ice water
• 4 large Apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• ¹⁄₄ cup Brown sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
4. Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary.
5. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the crust, if desired.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow the tart to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
