Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl of a food processor combine flour, salt, and sugar and pulse until combined. And butter cubes a few at a time, pulsing quickly until dough resembles a coarse meal. Beat the egg together with water. Add egg mixture, slowly, pulsing just until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll into a ball and then pat down into a disk. Wrap disk in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or pop in the freezer for 10)

Step 2

Meanwhile, place apple chunks, sugar, juice, water cinnamon, and zest in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil and let cook for 10 mins.

Step 3

Simmer uncovered until most of the liquid is evaporated. Mask apples into a paste with a fork. Allow to cool completely, it will thicken as it cools.

Step 4

Roll out dough onto a floured surface and fit into a 9" tart pan. Spread a single layer of compote on the bottom, and place in the freezer while you prep your apples.

Step 5

Peel, core, and slice apples very thin, about 1/8 " thick. Place in a bowl and squeeze with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 6

Remove tart from the freezer. When placing the apples the idea is to create an escargot pattern. Starting from the outside and working your way into the center. Layer each apple, cut side down, one slightly overlapping the other, making your way all around the tart until you reach the center.

Step 7

Then place two really thin apples in the center, curved and facing each other to form a little "rosette" refer to the video above to see how this is done.

Step 8

Then sprinkle the apples with the 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) or sugar.

Step 9

Bake at 400F (200 c) for 15 minutes and then reduce heat to 350F (175 c) and bake for 20 more minutes, or until golden brown. Then place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes just until the apples begin to get lightly charred.

Step 10

Place the jam in the microwave and heat on high for 15 secs or until melted. Brush tart with jam to create a nice shine. Et voila!

Step 11

Serve with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

Step 12

For whipped cream place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and whip on high until soft peaks form.
