This article will provide you with a simple and delicious recipe for making an apple tart. The tart is made with fresh apples, a flaky pastry crust, and a sweet and tangy filling. It is the perfect dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. To make the pastry crust, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry 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 fold the excess under. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork.
4. In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the apples evenly. Pour the apple filling into the prepared tart shell.
5. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Brush the melted butter over the top of the apple filling.
6. Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Let the tart cool completely before serving.
