Quick Cinnamon Apple Tarte
- 1 stick butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, plus extra, melted, for brushing
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons ice cold water
- 3 Granny Smith apples
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Special Equipment: 9 1/2-inch tarte pan
- Place the cubed butter in the fridge while you assemble all your ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor, place the flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
- Add the cold water and pulse again until the dough just begins to come together in a large lump.
- Pour the dough into the tarte pan and, using your fingers, press the dough into the pan, forming a crust.
- Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the apples.
- Peel the apples, cut into quarters, core, and then slice thinly.
- Place in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Remove the crust from the refrigerator and dump the apples onto the crust, spreading them evenly.
- Brush the whole tarte with melted butter and bake until the tarte is golden and the apples have cooked down a fair amount, about 1 hour.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream.
