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!
