Rustic Apple Tart


Besides pumpkin desserts in the Fall, I love apple ones.  Here's as easy recipe for an apple tart.  It's size makes it better for smaller families.   I hope you give it a try,  maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!



My new $ Tree mug says, "Soothing pleasures are the best.  Tea soothes the soul".

INGREDIENTS
1 refrigerated pie crust (from 15-ounce package)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
a little  freshly grated nutmeg, if desired
3-4 apples, peeled and thinly sliced (I ended up using only three as they were large)

TOPPING (optional)
2 T. flour
2 T. brown sugar
1 T. butter

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare crust as directed on package. Place on foil-lined 12-inch pizza pan. If necessary, press out any folds or creases. Brush crust with about 1/2 of the beaten egg white.

2. Mix sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in medium bowl. Toss with apples. Spoon into center of crust, spreading to within 2 inches of edges. Fold 2-inch edge of crust up over apples, pleating or folding crust as needed. Brush crust with remaining egg white.

3. Mix flour and brown sugar together.  Cut in butter until it forms crumbs.  Sprinkle on top of the apples.  If not using the topping, sprinkle the outside crust with about a teaspoon of sugar.

4.  Bake about 40 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool slightly before serving.

  8. Oh Kitty - we definitely share taste buds! (Or as my friend Tonya says...Sisters that got lost in the lunch line=). I have a very similar recipe on my pile of 'to try' that I have been eyeing for some time. I love that it doesn't make a big batch too. Looks wonderful - love your new mug too. So glad you shared.

  9. Love the addition of corn starch, that's a little different and lighter than flour. Your tart is very pretty Kitty! I've been craving some sort of pie and think that needs to be addressed this weekend:@)
