Time 2h

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 cups flour, more for rolling
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk plus 3 large eggs
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place flour, sugar and salt in food processor. Pulse to blend. Dice 8 tablespoons butter, place in food processor and give it about 20 quick pulses, until butter is in tiny lumps. Beat egg yolk with 4 tablespoons ice water. Open cover of machine and sprinkle in egg mixture. Pulse briefly. Ingredients should start to clump together to form a dough; do not allow a ball of dough to form. If dough is too dry to hold together, add another teaspoon or two of water and pulse again.
  • Transfer dough mixture to lightly floured work surface and gather together to form into a flat, smooth disk. Roll to a circle about 13 inches in diameter and fit into a 10-inch fluted tart pan. Line with foil, weight with pastry weights and bake 10 minutes, until dry-looking. Remove foil and weights, prick bottom of pastry in a few places and bake until golden, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven.
  • While pastry is baking melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add apples and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Stir in brown sugar, then add pecans. Sauté another minute. Remove from heat and spread in baked pastry. Beat eggs, stir in syrup and vanilla and pour over apples and pecans.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until set and browned on top, about 25 minutes more.

The tart was a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices to the filling next time.

This tart was a bit too complicated to make. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

The crust was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try using a different crust recipe next time.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tart turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the filling.

This tart is so easy to make and it's always a hit. I love that I can use whatever apples I have on hand.

I've made this tart several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flaky crust and gooey filling are perfection.

This apple pecan tart was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet apples, crunchy pecans, and creamy filling was irresistible. I'll definitely be making this again.
