Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon ice water
• 6-7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. To make the pastry, in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and pulse until the dough just comes together.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few seconds until smooth. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges of the dough and prick the bottom with a fork.
5. In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat. Pour the apple filling into the prepared tart shell. Dot the filling with the melted butter.
6. Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool completely before serving.
