Effortlessly elegant French apple tart.
Ingredients:
  • 160g plain flour
  • 275g unsalted butter, chilled, cut into large pieces
  • 10.60 gm lemon juice
  • 7 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, halved, very finely sliced
  • 350g caster sugar
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, blend together flour, 175g of butter, and a pinch of salt until small butter lumps remain. Add lemon juice and 1/4 cup of iced water, and pulse until combined. Transfer mixture onto a floured surface and use your hands to form a dough ball. Roll out into a 12 x 8cm rectangle.
  • Fold both narrow ends to meet in the center, then fold in half to create 2 layers. Give the dough a quarter turn, roll into a rectangle, and fold the narrow ends to the center. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, cut out a 30cm round using a plate as a guide, and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Layer apple slices in decreasing circles towards the center. Dot with the remaining butter and sprinkle evenly with 250g of sugar.
  • Cover the dish with parchment paper, then place another baking tray on top for even cooking. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the top tray and paper (expect lots of delicious juice). Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the tart and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the tart is caramelized and the pastry is crisp.
