Apple Tart

This is one of my simple semi-homemade desserts that always just seems to hit the spot! This apple tart is super simple and is made with pie dough, applesauce and apples! That’s it! You can throw this together in no time, which is perfect for Thanksgiving!

I made this apple tart with Mountain Rose apples that have a natural pink flesh! I know these might be hard to find so you can dye your apples pink with cherries or hibiscus! You can boil a cup of water with 1/2 cup of cherries until the cherries dye the water a pink color (about 10 minutes) then slice your apples and dip them in the water. After you assemble the tart you can brush on more of the cherry water to get a deeper pink.

This is such a simple recipe and takes little to no time to put together, which is great for the holidays. Spend a little less time in the kitchen and more time with your family.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Take the pie dough and press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Use a rolling pin to roll over the edges to get rid of any excess overhang.
3. Dock the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Freeze for 10 minutes.
4. Cover the frozen pie crust with foil and fill the foil with dried beans, rice or lentils so that it is completely filled.
5. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and dried beans, rice or lentils and bake the crust for 12 minutes at 350°F. Once it’s out of the oven, press down on any puffy parts with the bottom of a cup and cool completely.
6. In a small bowl, mix together applesauce, brown sugar, and spices.
7. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Top with sliced apples and sprinkle evenly with sugar. Dot the top of the tart with butter and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes and then 400°F for 5 minutes.
8. While the tart is warm, mix together the apricot jam and 1/2 tbsp of warm water. Brush the top of the apples to give it a shine. Enjoy while warm!
