Cooking Tips
Use a mix of apple types (like Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith) for depth of flavor.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple mixture for warmth.
Blind bake the crust for an extra crispy base if desired.
Let the tart cool before slicing to ensure clean, neat pieces.
Double the crust and freeze half for your next tart or pie!

Ingredient Spotlight: Apples
Apples are the centerpiece of this tart—firm, juicy, and slightly sweet apples work best. Popular choices include Gala, Golden Delicious, Fuji, or Jonagold. Their structure holds well during baking, preventing the tart from becoming mushy. Apples not only provide natural sweetness but are also rich in antioxidants, fiber, and polyphenols that benefit heart and gut health.
