Equipment
Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the beaten egg and quickly mix until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to fit the tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook until apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared tart shell, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
- Allow the tart to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream.

Notes
Feel free to switch up the apple varieties based on your preference—mixing sweet and tart apples adds depth.
If you don’t have brown sugar, light or dark muscovado can also work.
This tart is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, just pop it in the oven for a few minutes until warmed through—perfect for a quick dessert any day of the week!
