Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 4–5 medium apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar (optional)
- 1/4 cup of water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt together until a dough forms. The mixture should be crumbly yet hold together when pressed.
Press the dough into a tart pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides to create a nice crust.
In another bowl, combine the sliced apples with cinnamon, lemon juice, and brown sugar (if you’re using it). Toss everything together until the apples are well-coated with the mixture.
Spread the apple mixture over the crust, making sure to distribute it evenly. Then, add water around the apples to help them cook and retain moisture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden.
Let the tart cool before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to settle.
Notes
- Choose the Right Apples: Use a mix of sweet and tart apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for balanced flavor.
- Don’t Skimp on Cinnamon: The warm flavor of cinnamon complements the sweetness of the apples beautifully, so feel free to add more if you love that spice.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the tartness of your apples, you may want to add more or less brown sugar.
