How to make Apple Tart
Pastry preparation
- Step 1
Add flour, icing sugar, lemon zest and salt to a large mixing bowl.
- Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the oil and milk together. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and combine well. Gently knead the dough into a disc and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 150°.
- Step 4
Remove the dough from the fridge, place it on a lightly floured benchtop and roll it with a rolling pin.
- Step 5
Press the dough into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing until it is smooth and lined evenly.
- Step 6
Prick a few holes in the dough base with a fork. Line the dough with a sheet of baking paper and top with pie weights. Blind bake for 20 minutes and remove from the oven.
Apple mixture and baking
- Step 1
Combine apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, vanilla extract and spices. Mix well until all the apples are well coated.
- Step 2
Arrange the apples over the crust and return to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Maple glaze and serving
- Step 1
Whisk together maple syrup and hot water and brush the glaze over the apples.
- Step 2
Serve immediately with Greek yoghurt.
