Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 tbsp cold water gradually, mixing gently until dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: In a bowl, toss 3 peeled and thinly sliced tart apples with 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Arrange apples evenly on dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  5. Step 5: Fold dough edges over apples, pleating to form a rustic tart. Brush edges with 1 beaten egg.
  6. Step 6: Bake tart for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and apples are tender.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and drizzle 1/4 cup maple syrup over the warm tart before serving.
