    Dutch Appeltaart, oh my!

    This has to be my most favorite apple desserts of all time.  I would describe it as somewhat between a pie and a cake and is just simply delicious.

    It has quite a bit of butter in the dough, which may have a lot to do with it. It has sugar and a bit of lemon zest and of course apples with cinnamon and sugar.

    Once in a while raisins and nuts are added.  I made this one with just granny smith apples with simply cinnamon and sugar, and I have fallen in love.

    An exquisite dessert and one I will make forever.  I truly hope you try this one!

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups all purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • 2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
    • 1 egg whisked
    • For the filling:
    • 6 tart apples like granny smiths peeled and cored and sliced int 1/4" slices
    • 1/2 cup granulate sugar or more if you like it sweet.
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • Putting the tart together:
    • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
    • 1 egg whisked

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
    • Butter a 9" spring form pan
    • Prepare the dough
    • In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt , and lemon zest.
    • With the mixer running add in the butter and then te egg until it forms wet crumbs.
    • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead together.
    • Reserve 1/3 of the for the top of the tart
    • Roll out the remaining dough into a large 16" round and if this doesn't work because it is falling apart simply press the dough into the buttered spring pan and work the dough up the sides.
    • Assembly:
    • Put the apple slices into a bowl and add in the sugar and cinnamon and toss all together
    • Sprinkle the bread crumbs on the bottom of the tart shell and then pour the apples inside.
    • Roll out the remaining dough into a round.
    • Once again the dough will break up just make chunks of dough around the top or if you can keep the dough together you can try to slice it with a pizza cutter and make a lattice design.
    • Brush the top of the tart with the egg wash and then sprinkle on some granulated sugar.
    • Bake for 1 1/4 hours but check at around 1 hour. You want it to be tender and the juices bubbling.
    • Cool completely in the pan.
    • Take a knife around the edge of the spring form pan, then release it.
    • Savor this apple delight!
