Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 20 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Cold water
- 4 units Medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 15 milliliters Lemon juice
- 30 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 15 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 45 grams Apricot preserves
- 10 milliliters Water (for glaze)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar for the crust.
Step 2
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until it forms coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 6
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them in a large bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 3mm thick. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
Step 8
Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the crust, starting from the outer edge and working inward.
Step 9
Brush the apples with melted unsalted butter and sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top.
Step 10
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized, and the crust is golden brown.
Step 11
In a small saucepan, gently heat the apricot preserves with 10 milliliters of water until melted and smooth. Strain if necessary to remove chunks.
Step 12
Brush the warm glaze over the apples to give them a shiny finish.
Step 13
Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
Step 14
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Low Sodium Tarte aux Pommes!
