Ingredients

FOR PASTRY DOUGH

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 TBSP Granulated Sugar
  • 12 TBSP Butter, Cold and Diced
  • 1/2 Cup Ice Cold Water

FOR APPLES

  • 4-5 Honeycrisp Apples

*If you want an ombre effect, use the below apples instead of just honeycrisp.

  • 1 Ambrosia Apple
  • 1 Dazzle Apple
  • 1 Golden Delicious Apple
  • 1 Zestar Apple
  • 1 Envy Apple
  • 1 Sweet Tango Apple
  • 1 Smitten Apple
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 TBSP Butter, Cold and Diced
  • 1/2 Cup Peach Preserves

Instructions

  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in a food processor.
  • Pulse for 10 seconds to combine.
  • Add in 12 tablespoons of butter and pulse for another 30 seconds until butter is in small bits the size of a pea.
  • With the food processor on, slowly drizzle in cold water.
  • Mix until the dough comes together in a ball. 
  • Lightly roll out the dough on a floured surface then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. 
  • Chill flat in the refrigerator for 1 hour up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake, remove from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. 
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle 11x15. Trim up edges if needed. 
  • Place dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Fold up edges a bit and then chill in the fridge while you prepare the apples. 
  • Wash apples and cut 10 slices from each apple. 
  • Arrange each slice in rows, slightly overlapping each other on top of the dough. 
  • If arranging in ombre color, start darkest to lightest.
  • Sprinkle with granulated sugar and dot with butter. 
  • Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. 
  • In a small bowl, heat peach preserves in a microwave for 30 seconds. 
  • Once tart is removed from the oven, brush immediately with warmed peach preserves.
  • Cut and serve immediately.  

Notes

*To prevent apples from browning, once you have sliced them, dip them in a bowl of ice water.  Be sure to pat them dry before arranging them on the pastry dough.
