Instructions

Shortcrust dough

Place the ingredients in a large bowl, flour, confectioner’s sugar, salt, and chopped cold butter.
Mix with your fingers, mashing the cold butter into the flour until you have a sandy mixture.
Then add the cold water and gather the dough without kneading too much until you get a fairly homogeneous ball.
Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and place in the freezer for 5 minutes or 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Then line a pie dish with the dough disk and prick the bottom with a fork.

Filling:

Garnish the inside with a layer of applesauce.
Place thin slices of apples on the crust, following the outline of the tart until it is completely covered.
Cut small pieces of butter and scatter them on top of the tart.

Baking

Preheat the oven to 392°F / 200°C then lower the temperature to 350°F / 180°C and bake the tart for about 40 - 45 minutes until golden brown and the apples are cooked through.
Let the tart cool down before removing it from the mould and serving it.
