  • 9 tablespoons salted butter - frozen
  • 1 egg
  • 8-12 tablespoons ice water
  • 5-6 apples
  • 1 tablespoon GF flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and all spice
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream heavy - 35%+

Instructions

  • Sift in the flour. Grate in frozen butter and mix with a pasty cutter.

  • Place in pan and bake at 415 for 18 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Peel and slice apples, about 1/4 of an inch. Then mix with ingredients for the filling except the butter.
  • Fill cooled tart with filling and top with bits of butter - bake for 35 minutes at 350.
  • In a skillet heat sugar and keep whisking around to keep it from burning.
  • Once sugar is fully melted add in butter. It'll bubble, keep on low and wait for butter to fully melt.
