Ingredients
- Tart Dough:
- 1cup unbleached,
- all-purpose flour
- ½teaspoon kosher salt
- 8tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted
- butter, cold and cut into
- 1⁄2-inch cubes
- 1⁄4cup ice water
- Filling:
- 6small Pink Lady apples (no
- more than 2 inches in diameter), cored
- 11⁄2teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- ⅓cup cinnamon sugar (⅓ cup
- granulated sugar and 11⁄2
- teaspoons ground cinnamon)
- 1⁄4teaspoon kosher salt
- 2tablespoons unsalted butter,
- cold and cubed
- 2tablespoons apricot jam,
- warmed
Preparation
- 1. Make the Tart Dough: Put the flour and salt into the Large
- Work Bowl fitted with the Large Chopping Blade. Process on
- Low to sift, 10 seconds. Evenly disperse the butter on top of
- the flour mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse
- crumbs, about 14 pulses. Pour in water, 1 tablespoon at a
- time, and pulse until the mixture just forms a dough—you
- may not need all of the water. Form the dough into a disk
- and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30
- minutes or until ready to use.
- 2. When ready to make the tart, roll the chilled dough to fit into
- a 9-inch tart pan. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30
- minutes. Once chilled, prick the dough all over with the tines
- of a fork, being sure not to pierce through the dough. Preheat oven to 425°F with one rack in the bottom third and
- one in the middle third of the oven.
- 3. Prepare the filling: Fit the Spiralizer with the Ribbon Cut Disc.
- Process apples on Low, one at a time, to cut. Transfer to the
- chilled tart dough, in a concentric pattern. Drizzle with the
- lemon juice and then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar
- and salt over the apples. Top with the butter.
- 4. Put the prepared tart on a baking sheet and put into the
- preheated oven in the lower rack position. Bake for 20
- minutes. Carefully move tart to the middle position for
- another 15 minutes, or until the apples are nicely browned
- and caramelized.
- 5. Once tart is baked, remove from oven and carefully brush
- with the warm jam to create a shiny coating. Allow to cool 10
- minutes before serving
