Ingredients
Scale
- 1 refrigerated pre-made pie crust
- 2 large Granny Smith apples (peeled and finely diced)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and dicing your apples into very small cubes. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Ensure every piece of apple is evenly coated. Unroll your chilled pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter or a glass rim to cut out 6 circles. If you have extra dough, re-roll it to get more circles. Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture into the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the edges of the dough circles upward toward the center, slightly overlapping the dough to create a rustic galette shape, leaving the center apples exposed. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the tarts into the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
- Once the tarts are finished, let them sit in the air fryer basket for 2 minutes to firm up. Use a spatula to carefully transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Serve the tarts warm as they are, or top them with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce for an extra indulgent experience.
