Ingredients

250 g all-purpose flour
125 g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
50 g powdered sugar
1 large egg
600 g apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
150 g brown sugar
200 ml heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
50 g desiccated coconut, toasted
Whipped cream for serving optional
A sprinkle of cinnamon optional

Equipment

Tart pan (24 cm)
Heatproof mixing bowl
Food processor or plastic bag & rolling pin (for biscuits)
Baking paper
Chef's knife
Measuring cups and spoons
Food processor (for pastry dough)

Method

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and butter. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry to fit your tart pan. Gently press it into the pan and trim any excess. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
In a bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar and vanilla extract. Layer the apples evenly over the pastry base.
In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and any remaining brown sugar. Slowly pour this mixture over the apples in the tart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the cream has set slightly. The surface should be golden brown.
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for added flavor and texture.
Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to switch up the apples based on what's in season or your personal preference—Granny Smiths offer a tart kick, while Honeycrisps add sweetness.
Leftover tart can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; simply reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving, and it's just as delightful! Enjoy your baking adventure!
