Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Granny Smith apples
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Add cold water a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples.

Step 7

Place the sliced apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.

Step 8

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9x9-inch tart pan.

Step 9

Transfer the dough to the tart pan, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 10

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, rolled oats, and chopped walnuts to create the topping.

Step 11

Arrange the apple slices over the crust in a pleasing pattern.

Step 12

Sprinkle the oats and walnut mixture evenly over the apples.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.

Step 14

Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your naturally sweetened apple tart slices!
