How to Make French Apple Tart
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice 4-5 medium apples (about 2 pounds total). Arrange the apple slices decoratively in a single layer over the pastry shell, slightly overlapping.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
- Dot the apples with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Bake in the middle rack of the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, gently heat 1/4 cup apricot jam in a small saucepan until melted and smooth.
- Brush the warm apricot jam over the entire tart.
- Let cool completely before carefully removing from the tart pan.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
