Apple tart is a classic dessert that is loved by many. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply want to satisfy your sweet tooth, this recipe will guide you through the process of making a delicious apple tart that is sure to impress. So, let’s dive into the world of baking and learn how to make apple tart step by step.

Ingredients

Before we begin, gather the following ingredients:

– 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
– 3 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
– Icing sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry to a 12-inch round. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

3. In a large bowl, peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces. Set aside.

4. In the same bowl, combine the diced apples with the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure the apples are evenly coated.

5. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the rolled-out puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

6. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the apple mixture, creating a crust. Press the edges down gently to seal.

7. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the tart, ensuring it covers the crust and apple mixture.

8. Bake the apple tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

9. Once done, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

10. Dust the cooled apple tart with icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
