Apple Tart(Serves 8) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. flour, chilled
6 Tbsp. butter (cold), cubed
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. sugar
4 Tbsp. water (cold)
2 large apples, cored and sliced
1 tsp. butter

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0.
Put the flour, cubed butter and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in a food processor.
Start to blend and add the water.
When the dough forms a ball, transfer it to a floured board and roll it immediately into a circle of about 13 inches. Press it into a circular 12-inch shallow pie pan.
Sprinkle the dough with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Place the apple slices on the dough in a circular, overlapping pattern.
The pattern should be very precise, with only a slight overlap.
First, make the outer ring.
Then make an inner ring; the center will tend to rise to a peak, but this will flatten while baking.
If there is a hole remaining in the middle, fill it with some chopped apple.
Sprinkle the apple with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Bake the tart for 20 minutes.
Place the tart under the broiler for 1 minute to help caramelize the top.
The rims of the apple slices should be well browned.
Remove the tart from the broiler and brush the top with the 1 teaspoon of butter.
Serve hot.
