Pastry for a 10-inch pie (see recipe)
4 firm, ripe, unblemished apples such as MacIntosh or Delicious, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar

  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, preferably a cold surface. Use a wooden rolling pin covered, preferably, with a pastry cloth. Use the pastry to line a 10-inch loose-bottom tart pan.

  • Dot the apples all over with butter and sprinkle the sugar evenly over all.
  • Place the tart pan in the oven and bake 50 minutes.
  • Hold a small sieve over the tart and add the confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle it evenly over the tart. Serve hot or cold.
