Instructions
Prepare the Tart Crust:
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Add more water if needed.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F
Prepare the Apple Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until the apples are well coated.
Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix until the topping is crumbly.
Assemble the Tart:
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Add the apple filling, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.
Bake the Tart:
- Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Prepare the Caramel Drizzle:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns amber.
- Carefully add the butter, stirring until melted.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up.
- Remove from heat and stir in the salt if using.
- Let the caramel cool slightly before drizzling over the tart.
- Allow the tart to cool for a bit, then drizzle the caramel over the top. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy! 😋
