PINK-APPLESAUCE TART
Applesauce is hidden beneath paper-thin, petal-like slices of Empire apples. The fluted pastry shell is filled with the rosy sauce that's spiked with Calvados. More Calvados and a glaze of red currant jelly give the tart a beautiful sheen after baking. Martha made this recipe on Martha Bakes episode 406.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch thickness. Fit into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edge of dough flush with top of pan. Prick bottom of dough with a fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake until edges are set and golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove paper and beans. Bake until bottom is dry and golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Meanwhile, combine sugar, butter, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon Calvados and simmer 30 seconds. Stir in applesauce.
- Spread applesauce mixture evenly in cooled tart shell. Core apples, then use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to slice into almost paper-thin rings. Arrange apples over applesauce mixture, overlapping slices in concentric circles from the center out, to completely cover tart. Bake until apples are crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Combine jelly and remaining 1 tablespoon Calvados in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Brush glaze over apples. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Unmold and serve. Tart can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.
APPLESAUCE APPLE TART
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Chop the applesauce apples and put them in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, the nutmeg, and 1/4-cup/60 ml water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft. Put the apple mixture through a food mill to remove the skins and seeds. You should have about 1-1/2 cups/375 ml applesauce.
- Peel and very thinly slice the royal gala apples. Toss with the remaining brown sugar and melted butter. Spread the applesauce in the base of the baked tart shell and arrange the sliced apples over top. Brush the apple with any butter and sugar remaining in the bottom of the bowl. Bake until the apples slices are very soft and golden, about 20 minutes, depending on their thickness. Remove the tart from the oven and let cool slightly. Unmold. Serve warm or completely cool for a firmer tart with vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of creme fraiche.

CLASSIC APPLE TART
Apple tart is my family's favorite dessert. I love it because it makes the house smell amazing and the tart looks so polished and beautiful (taking a few extra minutes to fan out the apples makes it look like it came from a bakery!). This is a French-style apple tart, not an apple pie, meaning a wedge of the tart is thinner and neater than a slice of all-American apple pie. Try it topped with ice cream for that delicious a la mode taste. Rolling the dough for the tart makes for a finer-textured crust, but on many occasions I have simply pressed the crust into place with great results.

Steps:
- Set the cubed butter on a plate and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Fill a cup with ice and water and set aside. Place 1 1/2 of the flour, 1 8 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Take the butter out of the freezer and add it to the flour. Pulse the mixture until it looks like wet sand, about 10 seconds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together into a ball.
- Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top. Then lightly flour the top of the dough and roll to about a 10- to 11-inch circle, sprinkling more flour under and on top of the dough as necessary. Gently drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9- or 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan (ideally one with a removable bottom). Fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan as evenly as possible and press off excess dough from the fluted rim. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350degreesF. Peel, core, and quarter the apples and then thinly slice them lengthwise. Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the cinnamon, and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 8 teaspoon salt. Remove the baking sheet with the tart shell from the refrigerator. Arrange the apples in concentric circles so they overlap slightly. Brush the edges of the crust with the melted butter and then bake until the edges are golden and the apples have cooked down, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Coarsely chop apples and place in a large heavy saucepan. Cover tightly and cook very slowly for about 20 minutes, until the apples have steamed in their juices and are tender.
- While the apples are cooking, line a nine-inch straight-sided tart pan with the pastry, prick it and line it with foil weighted with dry beans or pastry weights. Bake six minutes, until the pastry looks like parchment. Remove the foil and bake about five minutes longer, until the pastry just begins to color. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees.
- Force the apples through a sieve or a food mill. You should have two cups of apple sauce. Add butter to the hot apple sauce bit by bit, then add lemon rind, season with nutmeg and sweeten, using more or less sugar to make an apple sauce that is pleasantly sweet but not cloying. Add the vanilla.
- Beat the eggs in until beginning to froth and stir into the apple sauce. Pour into prepared tart pan and bake about 45 minutes, until the custard has set. Serve with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a food processor, blend the oats into a coarse powder.
- Add the butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until nutty brown in color, 5-6 minutes. Once the butter has browned, add the ground oats, flour, salt, and water, and mix to combine. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch (20 cm) tart pan, spreading evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- Make the filling: Place the apples in a large microwave-safe bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over, then toss to coat. Microwave for 4 minutes. Cover with a plate and let steam for 5 minutes.
- Season the apples with the cinnamon and nutmeg, and toss to coat.
- Spread the applesauce over the bottom of the crust.
- Starting from the outside and working inward, arrange the apples in the pan in a circular pattern with the curved side up. Begin with the larger slices, overlapping slightly, and continue until the entire crust is filled. Brush the apples with the melted butter.
- Bake for 1 hour, checking occasionally. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover gently with foil to prevent further browning as the tart cooks through.
- If using, microwave the apricot jam for 20-30 seconds to melt. Use a pastry brush to paint the apricot jam over the warm tart for a nice, shiny finish.
- Let the tart cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Pate Sucree Extra: Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. In a liquid-measuring cup, whisk together ice water and egg yolks. With machine running, add egg-yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky, about 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together; if it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a rectangle. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough to a 17-by-14-inch rectangle. Using a paring knife, lightly trace a 1-inch border around perimeter of dough (this border will be folded up over the filling to form the tart crust, leaving a 15-by-12-inch rectangle for the filling). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Filling: Combine McIntosh apples, 2 pounds red apples, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups water in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium, partially cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are completely soft, about 40 minutes. To remove skins, use chopsticks, or pass apples through a medium-mesh sieve or a food mill fitted with the fine disk. Applesauce can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 week, or in freezer up to 3 months.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread 2 cups applesauce evenly over chilled dough, staying within 1-inch borders (reserve remaining applesauce for another use).
- Halve, core, and thinly slice crosswise remaining 3 to 4 red apples with a mandolin or a very sharp knife, reserving scraps. Shingle 6 slices into a 3-inch square on top of filling in one corner of tart. Brush with lemon juice to keep from browning. Repeat process with remaining apple slices, placing as closely as possible to the previous 3-inch square of apples and alternating the direction of the shingling in a grid pattern (you should have 4 rows of 5).
- Fold over 1-inch border of dough to create crust. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle generously with sanding sugar. Bake, rotating halfway through, until crust is deep golden brown all over, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Glaze: In a medium saucepan, cook reserved apple scraps, 1/2 cup water, sugar, apple brandy, quince paste, and salt over low heat until very soft. Whisk in butter, then strain mixture through a mesh sieve. Brush apples on tart with glaze to coat; let dry. Tart is best served at room temperature.
