Ingredients

  • For the dough
  • 200 g Flour
  • 100 g cold butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 750 g apples
  • 75 g butter
  • 200 g sugar

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Sift the flour onto a work surface, mix in salt and sugar, and press a well into the center. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and distribute around the well; place the egg in the middle and use a knife to cut through all ingredients until small dough crumbs form. Quickly knead with hands into a dough, shape into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Wash the apples, remove cores, and slice them.

  3. 3.

    Grease a tart pan with 50 g butter. Sprinkle a thick layer of sugar (about 100 g) over the butter and arrange apple slices in layers on top of the sugar.

  4. 4.

    Heat the pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes, then remove from the stove when the sugar starts to caramelize; let it cool briefly, sprinkle the remaining sugar, and scatter the rest of the butter in small flakes over the apples.

  5. 5.

    Roll out the dough, lay it over the fruit layer, and press the edges down into the pan.

  6. 6.

    Bake the tart in a preheated oven at 200 °C (both lower and upper heat) for about 30 minutes. Remove, flip onto a serving plate, and serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
