Equipment

  • Tart pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling

  • 2 large apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a tart pan and set it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to the tart pan, pressing it evenly into the sides and bottom. Trim any excess dough.
  • Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the crust. Sprinkle the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon evenly over the apples.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the tart cool slightly. Drizzle with honey before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

This apple and pecan tart is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
