How to Make Dutch Apple Tart

  1. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. The dough will be very soft. Gently gather it into a ball.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim and crimp the edges.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 6-8 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced), 1/2 cup raisins, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup apple jam.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared tart crust.
  6. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips. Arrange the strips in a lattice pattern over the filling.
  7. Brush the crust and lattice strips with 1 large egg, beaten.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
