Makes one, 9-inch tart
1. Insert Dicing Grid and Disc. Dice 3 apples. Put apples into a
medium saucepan with the butter, sugar and lemon juice.
Gently simmer over low heat until very tender and liquid,
about 30 to 40 minutes. When apples are done cooking,
remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and cool.
2. While apples are cooking, blind bake the pastry dough: Pre-
heat oven to 350°F. On a lightly dusted surface,
roll out the pastry dough into a circle about ¹∕
Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan (with removable bottom)
and gently press dough into the sides and bottom of pan.
Use the rolling pin to roll over the tart pan and trim the
edges of the dough. Gently prick the bottom of the pan
with the tines of a fork, being sure not to go all the way
through. Coat a piece of aluminum foil with nonstick
cooking spray. Place, sprayed side down, onto the top of
the dough in the tart pan. Fill with pie weights (dried beans
or rice can be used). Bake until bottom of crust is no longer
wet, about 20 minutes. Gently remove foil with pie weights
and continue baking until golden brown, an additional 10
to 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and cool slightly.
3. While apple mixture and tart shell are cooling, adjust the
Slicing Disc to setting 3. Insert the Slicing Disc and slice
remaining 2 apples. Toss with 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Reserve in bowl.
4. Pour cooked and cooled apple mixture into the tart pan
and spread evenly. Arrange apple slices over the apple
mixture in concentric circles. Brush with 1 tablespoon
melted butter. Bake until apple slices are soft and lightly
golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and brush with the warm apricot jam.
Let cool slightly in pan and then carefully remove from pan.
Serve warm.
