Traditional Apple Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust (or you can make it from scratch)
• 3-4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out your pie crust on a floured surface and transfer it onto a large baking sheet or tart pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4. Add in the sliced apples and toss until they are evenly coated in the sugar mixture.
5. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the pie crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
6. Dot the top of the apples with the small pieces of butter.
7. Brush the beaten egg around the edges of the crust.
8. Bake the tart for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Verdict:

This traditional apple tart is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart apples with warm cinnamon and nutmeg makes for a delicious and comforting treat. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.

Serving Suggestions:
