Apple Tart Happiness

Apple Tart

Crust:

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tsp baking powder

1/2 Tsp salt

1/2 cup cubed butter

1 egg lightly beaten

2 Tbsp milk

In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbles! If you dont have a butter cutter you can use two butter knifes or large serving forks to cut in the butter! Combine the egg and milk into the flour mixture until well blended. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press dough into the bottom and sides of an 11 inch tart pan with a removable bottom! You can find these at any store that has cookware. You can try this in ridge pie pan but it may stick and not come out as nicely as it would if you where using the proper tart pan!

Apples:

6 medium to large Granny Smith apples.

Peel them and slice them. If you want you can add about a tsp of lemon juice and this will stop it from browning! Arrange the apples in a nice fashion over the crust. You can have alot of fun with this part so get creative and just have fun!

Topping:

1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar

2 Tbsp of butter

1/2 Tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 Tsp ground nutmeg

1- 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour

Combine all ingredients until crumbles form. Sprinkle the crumbles over the apples and bake for 50-60 minutes or until apples are tender. Serves about 12 people. I would recommend some really good vanilla ice cream to go along with this! Enjoy!!
