Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
- 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Trim any excess dough. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, then bake for an additional 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Arrange the apple slices in the cooled tart crust. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk to make the cinnamon glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the warm tart.
- Slice and serve the apple and almond tart with cinnamon glaze. Enjoy!
