Ingredients

• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 100 g Vegan butter, chilled and cubed
• 30 g Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 3 tbsp Cold water
• 4 Apples (like Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
• 3 tbsp Apricot jam
• 1 tbsp Water for glaze
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the cubed vegan butter to the dry ingredients and mix using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, peel the apples, core them, and slice them thinly. Put them into a bowl and toss with lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer it to a tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming the excess.

Step 6

Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the crust, starting from the outside and working your way in.

Step 7

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples.

Step 8

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

Step 9

While the tart is baking, prepare the glaze by heating the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.

Step 10

Once the tart is out of the oven, brush the warm apricot glaze over the apples to give them a shine and added layer of flavor.

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Classic French Apple Tart!
