Apple Tart Ingredients

Method

Apple Tart Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Pastry

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Apples

    In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tart

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a floured surface and fit it into a tart pan. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the bottom of the tart crust. Arrange the apple mixture on top of the ricotta.

  5. 5

    Bake the Tart

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
