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! 😋
