Cinnamon Apple Tart Recipe
Additional Information
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare 7 in. x 11 in. tart pan with vegetable pan spray.
Step 2
For crust, stir together melted butter, 1/3 cup sugar, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla and salt in large bowl. Add flour; stir until just combined. Evenly press into the bottom and up the sides of pan. Poke dough all over with fork. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Step 3
Bake crust 15-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on cooling grid.
Step 4
Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
Step 5
For filling, combine sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in small bowl. Tightly layer apples in an overlapping shingled pattern. (Use all three apples; tart will be full.) Sprinkle evenly with spiced sugar.
Step 6
Bake on cookie sheet 30-35 minutes or until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.
Step 7
While tart bakes, make glaze. Add cider and cinnamon stick to large skillet. Cook over medium heat until liquid has reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 15-17 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to low; add corn syrup, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk continuously until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Step 8
Re-warm glaze over low heat, if needed, and pour over tart when it is removed from the oven. Cool tart completely in pan on cooling grid.
