  • Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add sugar and wait until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add sliced apples, cinnamon and stir the apples a little with a wooden spatula. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should release a little juice, but remain firm inside.

  • 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.

  • Place caramelized apples into the crust. Optionally you can arrange fresh apple slices over the filling, sprinkling them with brown sugar and some cinnamon.

Notes

For apple variety, Jonagold or honeycrisp apples are the best choice. They both hold well in the oven and have the sweetness you want in an apple tart.
