How to Make Apple Pecan Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Gently place a 9-inch pie crust into a tart pan. Leave the edges long and free-form for a rustic look.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup corn syrup (light or dark).
  4. Add 2 large eggs to the wet ingredients and beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup pecan halves, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon melted unsalted butter. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Set the pecan mixture aside.
  7. In a separate bowl, toss 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
  8. Arrange the apple slices in the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the apples.
  9. Gently fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely before serving for the best results.
