Ingredients for Apple And Rosemary Tart

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Coarse Salt
  • Unsalted Butter
  • Ice water, as needed (about 2-4 tablespoons)
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Tart Apples
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • Water

How to Make Apple And Rosemary Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the tart crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and butter. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
  4. Peel, core, and thinly slice 4-5 medium apples (about 4 cups).
  5. In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of rosemary leaves (finely chopped), and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  6. Arrange the apple slices neatly in the tart shell.
  7. Whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of cream and pour over the apples.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
