Method

For the Apple Tart

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the unsalted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Apples

    Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Place the rolled dough into the tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tart

    Arrange the apple slices in the tart shell, overlapping them as desired. Beat the egg for the egg wash and brush it over the apples to give them a nice glaze.

  6. 6

    Bake the Tart

    Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

For the Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 8

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

  3. 9

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

  4. 10

    Freeze the Ice Cream

    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
