Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

The filling:
3 or 4 crisp apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
¼ cup of sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 stick of butter, sliced
¼ cup of peach jam, heated and thinned with 1 tablespoon of water so it's spreadable.
The Crust:
1 ¼ cups of all purpose flour, sifted
1 stick of butter, cold- and sliced into about 10 pieces
2 tablespoons of sour cream
2 tablespoons of sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sour cream and sugar, pulse until the mixture forms a ball (This should take about 1 minute) Remove and press into an ungreased 10 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. (if you don't have a food processor, you can cut through the pastry with a pastry knife or two table knives until you achieve the appropriate texture.) Bake the crust for 15 minutes, until set. Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Arrange apple slices on the crust, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and then scatter the butter pieces around the tart. Bake for 45 minutes. (Place tart on a cookie sheet to protect from spillovers or butter seepage.) When tart is done, brush with the preserves. It is best served warm with ice cream.

Tips:

  • To make your shortbread crust extra crumbly, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the shortbread crust by hand. Just be sure to work the butter and flour together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Don't overwork the shortbread dough, or it will become tough.
  • Chill the shortbread dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the crust hold its shape.
  • Bake the shortbread crust until it is golden brown around the edges.
  • Allow the shortbread crust to cool completely before filling it.
  • For the apple filling, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them.
  • Cook the apples in a saucepan with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter until they are soft.
  • Let the apple filling cool slightly before pouring it into the shortbread crust.
  • Bake the apple tart until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve the apple tart warm or at room temperature.
