Method
How to Make Apple Rose Tart
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in the egg yolk, then add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together.
- Chill the dough by forming it into a disk, wrapping in plastic, and refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice the apples thinly and place them into a bowl.
- Drizzle lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent browning.
- Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle it over the apples and toss gently.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Transfer the rolled dough into a 9-inch tart pan, pressing gently into the bottom and sides.
- Arrange the apple slices starting from the outer edge and overlapping to create a rose pattern.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the apple roses.
- Bake the tart in your preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the apples are tender.
- Cool the tart for about 15 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
- Heat apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat until smooth.
- Brush the warm glaze over the apple slices if desired.
- Serve your Apple Rose Tart sliced warm or at room temperature.
