Instructions
Prepare the crust
In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. Add diced butter and mix until crumbly. Add egg yolk and ice water, mixing until dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pro tip: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour for a flaky texture.
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the dough
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press into the pan and trim excess.
Pro tip: If the dough tears, patch it with extra dough and press gently.
Prepare the filling
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook until apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in Calijo and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Cook until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly.
Assemble the tart
Arrange the apples in the prepared tart crust. Pour any remaining sauce over the apples.
Pro tip: Arrange apples in a spiral pattern for an attractive presentation.
Bake the tart
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.
Pro tip: Check the tart halfway through baking to ensure the edges don't brown too quickly.
Tips & Tricks
- Choose firm apples like Granny Smith for the best texture.
- Allow the tart to cool before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Use a pastry brush to evenly distribute the glaze.
- Calijo adds a unique depth; adjust to taste if needed.
