Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Coconut oil (solid but not hard)
• 60 ml Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 5 medium Golden or green apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Apricot jam (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Water (for thinning the apricot jam, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the solid coconut oil to the flour mixture, cutting it in with a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 6

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into even slices, about 2-3 mm thick. Toss the apple slices in a bowl with the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a circle roughly 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Gently transfer the rolled-out dough to a tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 8

Arrange the apple slices in a fan-like pattern over the crust, starting at the outer edge and working your way inward.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the top of the apples.

Step 10

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 11

Optional: While the tart is baking, heat the apricot jam with 1 teaspoon of water (if needed) in a small saucepan until melted and smooth. Once the tart is finished baking, brush the apricot glaze over the apples for a glossy finish.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
