easy peasy apple tart

this apple tart recipe is waayyy too easy. great to make if you're having friends over and need a quick dessert. or if you're like me, and all your friends live across the country, you could try this idea: spilt the dough in half, make a mini pizza, make this dessert (1/2 recipe ingredients) and have a meal + dessert in one. don't forget the vanilla ice cream ;)

whatcha need:

store bought pizza dough (1lb)

TBSP flour

stick of butter (unsalted, room temp./then cut in cubes)

TBSP lemon juice

2 TBSP light brown sugar

pinch of salt

1/4 + 1/8 tsp cinnamon

2 granny smith apples (peeled, cored, & very thinly sliced)

1 lg. egg yolk

tsp sugar

ice cream

whatcha do:

on floured surface, roll dough to 6X14in rectangle. place butter cubes on upper 2/3 and fold into thirds (like a letter) starting with unbuttered portion. roll dough to a 6X14in rectangle; refrigerate on baking sheet for an hour. cut dough crosswise into 4 equal parts. place dough on sheet lined with parchment.

preheat oven to 375. in large bowl, gently toss lemon juice, flour, b.sug, salt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, & apples. leaving a 1/2 border, arrange apples over dough, overlapping slightly.

in a small bowl, combine egg yolk with tsp. water. in another bowl, combine sugar and 1/8 cinnamon. brush edges of dough with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. bake until crust is golden and apples are soft. (30-35min.)
