Maple-Glazed Apple Tart

• 1 teaspoon dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup warm water (105u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 1 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon walnut oil or vegetable oil, divided
• Vegetable cooking spray
• 1 pound peeled Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup maple syrup

1. Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon of syrup in warm water in a small bowl, and let stand 10 minutes.
2. Combine flour and salt in food processor. With processor on, slowly add yeast mixture and 2 1/2 teaspoons oil through food chute; process until dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 times. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u0b0), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle; place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush dough with remaining oil; let dough rise 30 minutes or until puffy.
4. Arrange apple slices, overlapping, in a circular pattern over dough. Bake at 425u0b0 for 10 minutes. Sprinkle walnuts over apple slices, and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
5. Place 1/2 cup of syrup in a small, heavy saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat until the syrup reaches thread stage (230u0b0). Remove from heat, and let the syrup cool slightly (about 1 minute). Drizzle syrup over apple. Serve warm.
