How to Make This Recipe

To make this recipe, you will need:

• 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
• 2 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a food processor, 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.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim the excess dough and set the tart pan aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss to coat. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared tart shell. Dot with the melted butter.
5. Bake the tart for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
