This tart was inspired by a cooking show, but I made up my own recipe as I went along. It’s easier than apple pie, but I think it’s also more impressive.
- 1 recipe pie dough
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- sprinkles of cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cider jelly (or apple jelly)
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roll out the pie dough into a rough square, then trim the edges. Arrange the apple slices diagonally, then sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top, dot with butter, and sprinkle on the cinnamon. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft. Melt the cider jelly in a small pan, then brush it over the apples to make them shiny.
Mmm, looks delicious. It looks like you just put it flat on a cookie sheet?
Yup, a cookie sheet. the one I used had edges, just in case the juices overflowed so they didn’t go all over the oven.
Yummers. I always make apple pie (even though I’m really allergic to apples!) but this would be better because I like more crust!
That looks delicious!! But I do not trust myself at making pie crust. I would DEFINITELY add too much water. Also I would not do it in a processor because I’m lazy and I hate putting those things together and then washing them.
I was thinking it would be good with frozen puff pastry sheets. Maybe try it that way?
I hear you on the food processor, I hate it too, especially since I only use it for like 10 seconds, ha.
