Delicious Bistro Apple Tart

As you may or may not know, I am inundated with apples this year. We are literally drowning in apples. I’m pretty sure I’m starting to annoy a lot of people by begging them to take apples from us. Yesterday, while playing with the girls outside, I noticed a strange man in our front yard scooping up apples as fast as he could into his arms.

And I didn’t even care. I had no idea who he was, but I went out and thanked him because by golly, I want to see these apples get used!

Which brings me to today’s apple-of-the-day recipe, a delicious bistro apple tart. For some reason, everything sounds better when you throw the word ‘bistro’ in front of it, doesn’t it?

Bistro Apple Tart

The tart was so delicious I forgot to take a picture before we dug in. Hopefully you can get the gist of it.

Filling Ingredients
*3 tbl. sugar
*1 tsp. cinnamon
*a few pats of butter
*2 cups peeled, sliced apples

Mix the sugar and cinnamon, then add the apples to coat. Crazy hard, I know. You’ll use the butta later.

Crust Ingredients
*2 1/4 c. flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. shortening (like Crisco)
10-12 tbl. cold water.

Stir together flour and salt, then cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the flour pieces into pea-sized bits. Sprinkle one tablespoon of the cold water at a time over the flour, gently tossing with a fork as you go until all the flour is moistened.

Shape the dough into a ball on a floured surface, then roll out into a circle with a rolling pin. You can roll out the dough right onto the pan you are going to use, or use the ol’ wrap-the-dough-around-the-pin method to transfer the dough onto your baking sheet.

Add all the apples to the middle of the dough circle and then throw in some pats of butter into the apple mixture, just for good measure. Fold your dough up and over the apples, leaving a good chunk of the middle exposed.

Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream or by itself with a little bit of whipped cream.

About Chaunie

Hi, I'm Chaunie and I'm glad you're here! I admit this blog is a bit rusty, as most circa 2010-blogs are, but like us elder millennial moms ourselves, I figure it can still get the job done, am I right? So here's the deal: I'm a mom of five kids, teen to toddler, I've been a writer for about 10 years, mostly penning health articles in exchange for money to pay my bills, but after I was laid off, I decided it was now or never and I'm writing my first novel in a month. And I want you to be part of the process with me. So subscribe and get weekly emails with my latest juicy drafts. It's going to be fun. Read More…
