Instructions

Step 1: Preheating the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Making the Dough

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.

Step 3: Forming the Crust

Press the dough into a tart pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides to create a nice crust.

Step 4: Preparing the Apple Filling

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.

Step 5: Assembling the Tart

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.

Step 6: Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden.

Step 7: Cooling

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.
