Ingredients

• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 pinch Salt
• 60 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
• 30 milliliters Cold water
• 4 medium Apples
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Low-sugar apricot jam
• 1 teaspoon Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the low-fat plain yogurt to the flour mixture and mix until crumbly.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until the dough comes together.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. Toss the slices in a bowl with the lemon juice and ground cinnamon to prevent browning and to enhance their flavor.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 7

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 2-3 millimeters thick, and transfer it to a tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim off any excess dough.

Step 8

Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the crust, starting from the outside and overlapping slightly as you work toward the center.

Step 9

Brush the apples lightly with honey for a hint of natural sweetness.

Step 10

Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 11

While the tart bakes, heat the low-sugar apricot jam and 1 teaspoon of water in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 12

Once the tart is out of the oven, brush the warm apricot glaze evenly over the apples to give them a glossy finish.

Step 13

Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Low Fat Tarte aux Pommes!
