• For the dough, put the flour, butter, oil, sugar, and salt in a food processor and process for about 10 seconds.
• Add the Tablespoon of ice water and process for another five or six seconds.
• Remove from the bowl and form into a flat dough. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll the ball of dough into a thin layer, around ¼ inch (6 ⅓ mm) thick.
• Using a round cutter, or use a round bowl or lid as a guide and cut out into a nice round circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a large cookie sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat.
• Arrange the apple slices, alternating them nicely on top of the dough. Sprinkle the apple with sugar and put butter cubes on top.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the fruit is soft and the dough nicely browned.
• Some of the juice from the fruit will have leaked out onto the cookie sheet. Before it hardens and makes the disks stick to the sheet, lift the tart with a broad spatula and transfer them to a cooling rack or platter.
• Serve lukewarm or at room temperature with ice cream (optional).
• Enjoy!

GLAZED AND FLAKY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 275°F. Peel apples; cut in half. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out cores. Rub cut sides of lemon all over apples, then place apples cut side down in a 13x9" baking dish. Squeeze lemon halves over and add maple syrup, brandy, vanilla, and salt. Cover tightly with foil and bake until juices are bubbling and apples are tender but still intact (poke through foil with a tester or toothpick to check), 60-80 minutes. Uncover and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
• Meanwhile, toss almonds, 1 Tbsp. raw sugar, and 1 Tbsp. flour in a small bowl; set aside. Let puff pastry sit at room temperature about 4 minutes to soften slightly. Roll out on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent sticking and rotating once or twice, to a 16x12" rectangle. Slide parchment paper with pastry onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Trim around sides to straighten and tidy edges, then cut off a 1" strip from each side (you'll have 4 strips). Brush around edge of rectangle with egg, then place strips on top, aligning with edges. Trim any overhang from corners. Brush rim you just created with egg and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. raw sugar. Scatter reserved almond mixture over pastry, staying inside the rim.
• Gently arrange apples on top of almond mixture; reserve juices left in dish. Chill tart 15 minutes.
• Bake tart 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and puffed, 45-55 minutes.
• Meanwhile, scrape reserved apple juices into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling pan often, until syrupy (you should have 2-4 Tbsp.), 6-8 minutes. Remove glaze from heat.
• Remove tart from oven and brush glaze over apples. Serve warm or room temperature with scoops of ice cream.
• Do Ahead
• Tart can be baked 10 hours ahead. Store loosely wrapped at room temperature. Reheat in a 250°F oven if desired.

APPLE TART WITH RASPBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the flour, sugar and salt for the crust.
• Coat the butter in the flour mixture and slice into small pieces.
• For those of us without pastry cutting devices, rub the butter between your fingers with one hand while sprinkling flour on it with the other to create smaller and smaller butter chunks.
• Continue for a few minutes until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Add the yolk of one egg, and blend until the dough sticks together.
• (I recommend using your hands).
• If the dough is not sticky enough, add a teaspoon of water and try again.
• Roll the dough out in between 2 layers of wax paper.
• Then carefully flip it onto a tart pan.
• Sprinkle some flour on the bottom of the crust to help absorb juice from the apples.
• Peel and cut the apples into 1/4 inch slices.
• Arrange in concentric circles over the crust, overlapping like a fan.
• Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and ginger over the apples.
• If you are using really tart apples, you may want to add an extra tbspn sugar.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat the raspberry jam until liquified.
• When the tart is baked, brush the apples with raspberry glaze.

GLAZED APPLE-RICOTTA TARTS

Steps:

• PASTRY:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F In a food processor, add flour, icing sugar, and salt. Turn to low speed and process until well mixed. Add butter and continue to process until crumbly in texture. Add water and pulse just until mixed and dough holds together when squeezed.
• Add an additional 1/2 teaspoons of water at a time if necessary. Flatten to 1/2 inch disc., wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• FILLING:.
• Meanwhile in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together apples, sugar Calvados, and lemon zest. Cook covered stirring occasionally, until apples are tender ( but not mushy), about 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in ricotta.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut 4-inch circles using round cutter. (or alternatively, divide dough into 12 pieces and roll out individually).
• Fit into nonstick muffin cups. refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Fill each muffin cup with 2 tablespoons of apple ricotta filling. For topping, fan apple slices decoratively over top of each tart. Melt jelly in microwave for about 30 seconds, or until pourable, then drizzle 1 teaspoons over each tart.
• Bake in the center of preheated oven until pastry is golden about 20-25 minutes. Cool tarts in pan on wire rack.
• VARIETY TIP: For best results use Spartan, Cortland, Empire or Crispin apples.
• CHEF'S TIP: For extra flavor, drizzle each tart with 1 teaspoons of Calvados while they cool.
