Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º F. Butter a 10" deep tart plate (flan tin). Roll out the pastry dough into a 12" circle and line the plate with it. Line dough with parchment paper, fill with beads, and blind bake crust for about 20 minutes.
Peel, quarter, and core the apples. Cut each quarter into 4 slices. Arrange evenly over the pastry in the form of a rose, starting from the outside and overlapping the slices slightly. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon and beat well. Beat in the cream. Coat the apples with this mixture and bake for another 35 minutes or until the apples are tender. Serve warm.

Optional: If you would like, once it is out of the oven and has cooled down, you may add a mixture of apricot jam and water and paint this mixture on top of the tart before serving. You can either put the mixture in a small bowl in the microwave or heat on the stove to get it hot and well blended. It makes the tart shinny and adds to the pretty presentation.
