Late summer, early fall – doesn’t matter.

What is important is, that the apples are ripe. And that you can make a seasonal and regional apple tart from them. Here in the editorial office, this version convinced us with its unbelievable consistency, that is somewhere between creamy and crispy.

The ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups organic flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, fine
  • a pinch of salt
  • 5 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup apple sauce (preferably homemade)
  • 3 apples
  • cinnamon
  • sugar

How it’s done:

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl, add butter (cut into pieces), slowly add the cold water. Knead into a smooth dough, form into a ball, and refrigerate for at least one hour (you can also prepare the dough and leave it in the fridge for longer).

Preheat oven to 392°F.

Prepare the apple sauce (if you like it to be homemade).

Peel the apples, core them, and cut into pieces.

Roll out the dough and place it in a tart pan. Spread the apple sauce over the dough and arrange the apples fan-shaped on top. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the tart. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

Done! A very delicious pairing: A nice, creamy cappuccino and if you like, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the tart (it’s not a must).
