Ingredients (Serves 6)

• All-Purpose Flour: 200g (for the crust).

• Unsalted Butter: 100g, chilled and cubed.

• Sugar: 50g (for the crust) + 50g (for the apples).

• Egg Yolk: 1.

• Cold Water: 2 tablespoons.

• Apples: 4 medium (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious), peeled and thinly sliced.

• Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon.

• Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon.

• Apricot Jam: 2 tablespoons (for glaze).

Instructions

1. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine flour and 50g sugar. Rub in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Apples: Toss apple slices with lemon juice, 50g sugar, and cinnamon.

3. Assemble the Tarte: Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly. Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and apples are caramelized.

4. Glaze and Serve: Warm apricot jam with a splash of water and brush over the tarte for a glossy finish. Serve on a Joelyns porcelain platter for a touch of elegance.
