Baked Apple Tart with Cinnamon


Apple tart is made from the sweetness of fresh apples, autumn’s favorite spice- cinnamon, and simple pantry ingredients. I found that an Apple Tart is much easier to make than it looks.

Homey, sweet, and the perfect treat: that’s how I’d describe this apple tart. Do you go apple picking in the fall? We have several farms nearby and just like the pumpkin patch, picking apples makes a great fall activity with the kids. Especially since this apple tart comes afterwards!

Curl up with a cup of tea or coffee and this apple tart. It brings warm comfort when the chilly weather comes.

Which apples are best for apple tart?

Jonagolds or honeycrisps, both hold well in the oven and have the sweetness you want in an apple tart.

How do you store apple tart?

Its great on the counter, covered for 2-3 days the most, to save it more than that refrigerate it for up to a week, but the taste will not hold up like a fresh apple tart.

Can I use other fruit instead of Apples?

Yes, you can! That’s the beauty of this recipe. Fresh peaches or pears also work well but for the ultimate fall flavors try it with apples. All you need are these 4 ingredients:

Apples

  • Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out between two sheets of waxed parchment. Roll out until it becomes the size of a baking dish plus the sides. I used a 10 inch dish.

  • Place the rolled dough in a baking dish. Gently press dough down into the dish so that it lines the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim the edge with a knife or kitchen scissors.
