How to Make Toffee Apple Tart Rustica

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Press out any fold lines in the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), 1 cup toffee bits, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Evenly spoon the apple mixture onto the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
  5. Fold the edges of the crust over the apples, pleating as needed to create a rustic effect.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons heavy cream over the apples.
  7. Brush the edges of the crust with water and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is a deep golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. Remove from the oven and immediately run a spatula under the crust to loosen it from the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  11. Once slightly cooled, cut into 8 equal servings and enjoy!
