Directions:Crust:
Mix dry ingredients, then add cubed butter and mix with hands. Pour mixture on a flat surface and use rolling pin to flatten out pieces of butter into strips until they start to look like ribbon pieces. This is to create a flaky layer for the crust. If the mixture sticks to the rolling pin, just add more flour to your pin. Use a bench scraper to keep all ingredients together.
Once butter is in strips, add mixture back to the bowl then add 3 T. cold water and use your hands to mix everything together. Put mixture back on the surface and continue to roll the dough. It will be a mixture of wet and dry so don't worry. Make sure to limit the amount you use in your hands. After rolling out the mixture, use bench scraper to fold over one end toward middle and do the same on the other side. Then turn the dough 180-degrees and complete the same process again. Do this a few times until the dough is close to a dough consistency. You may need to use your hands more in the ends to press everything together. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, although you may refrigerate longer if needed.
Filling:
Cut the apples into thin slices. Add the apples and half of the lemon juice to a bowl. Add brown sugar and sugar and mix with hands. Set aside.
Tart:
Roll out your dough and use rolling pin to lay over tart pan. Use your fingers to press edges of dough into the pan. Allocate apple slices to your preference. Drizzle warm butter over tarts.
Bake at 375º in a preheated oven and bake 40-45 minutes. |
