How to Make Apple Shortbread Tart

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Press the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  6. Peel, core, and thinly slice 4-5 medium apples (about 4 cups). Arrange them in a decorative pattern over the shortbread crust.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the arranged apples.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
