Rustic Apple Tart

By ginasheppard

Ingredients

• 2-1/2 pounds tart green apples, peeled, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 unbaked (9-inch) pie crust

Preparation

Step 1

Toss together apples, lemon and granulated sugar. Set aside.
Place all remaining ingredients except pie crust in mixer bowl and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
Roll out pastry into a 13-inch circle. Transfer to baking sheet. Gently mound apples in center of pastry, leaving a 2-inch border of dough on all sides. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon sugar mixture. Fold pastry up over filling, pleating as necessary to fit snugly around apples. Gently press dough to filling, reinforcing shape.

Bake at 400 Degrees F until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender, for about 30 minutes. Cool tart on baking sheet on wire rack 10 minutes; serve warm.
