Instructions

 

Preheat oven to 350 °F and center the oven rack.

Crumble Topping

In a bowl mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Rub the butter into the dry mixture until large crumbs are formed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.

Apple Filling

In a large bowl combine thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Tart Shell

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and combine until a dough forms.*

Press the mixture into the tart pan until it is smooth and even.

Constructing the Apple Crumble Tart

Arrange the apple slices tightly over the tart crust in groupings of 10 to 12.

NOTE: To cut down on time throw the apple slices into the tart shell without arranging them.

Top with cold butter cubes and sprinkle the cold crumble topping on the outer edge of the tart and in the crevices, careful to not cover up the design.

Place tart on an aluminum cookie sheet.

Baking the Apple Crumble Tart

Bake for 1 hour or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.

NOTE: If the crumble or apples begin to brown too much, loosely place aluminum foil over it and continue to bake the tart.

Remove from oven and let the tart cool completely.

Carefully remove the tart from the form. Slice and serve with caramel, ice cream, whipped cream, or on it's own.
