Apple Tart - Taste of Home

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 6 to 7 tablespoons cold water
• 5 medium apples, peeled and sliced
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and toss with a fork until dough can be formed into a ball.
2. On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 13-in. circle. Place on an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan; turn edges under. Beginning at the outside, arrange apples in a circular patter, overlapping each slice. Make a second circle facing the opposite direction. Continue alternating directions until crust is covered.
3. Brush apples with melted butter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 200° for 40-50 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden.
4. Combine preserves and water; brush over apples. Serve warm.
