Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with lemon juice. Add the reserved sugar mixture and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Unroll the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently roll it out slightly to form a 12 to 13-inch circle.
- Arrange the apple slices in the center of the pie crust circle, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Try to keep the apples mounded slightly in the center.
- Gently fold the edges of the pie crust up over the apples, overlapping as necessary to create a rustic, free-form tart. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk for the egg wash, then brush it over the exposed crust.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
- Let the apple tart cool to room temperature on the baking sheet before serving. It can be served plain, warm, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle the cooled apple tart with a homemade or store-bought caramel sauce before serving. This tart can be frozen for up to 2 months; simply thaw and reheat gently.
