How to Make Apple Walnut Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prebake your tart shell (store-bought or homemade) for 10 minutes. Once cooled slightly, brush the warm shell with 1 tablespoon of apricot preserves.
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice 4 medium apples (about 2 pounds).
  3. Toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. Arrange the apple slices in a decorative pattern within the pre-baked tart shell.
  5. Scatter 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts evenly over the apples.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Cut in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of cold unsalted butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples and walnuts.
  9. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
