(I tend not to use the apple ends in order to make the arrangement beautiful.) Sprinkle with the full ½ cup sugar and dot with the butter.īake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally down the middle of the tart and continue making diagonal rows on both sides of the first row until the pastry is covered with apple slices. Slice the apples crosswise in ¼-inch-thick slices. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baller. Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stem. Place the dough on the prepared sheet pan and refrigerate while you prepare the apples. Using a ruler and a small knife, trim the edges. Roll the dough slightly larger than 10 x 14 inches. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dump onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. With the motor running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse just until the dough starts to come together. Add the butter and pulse 10 to 12 times, until the butter is in small bits the size of peas. Cool pastry is easier to work with.Īctually, the key to this recipe is to use a hot oven and keep the pastry cold for maximum puff.For the pastry, place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
