- parchement paper
- small bowl
- knife
- cutting board
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 9 inch refrigerated pie crust
- 4 Gala apples, core but do not peel
- 4 ½ tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablesspoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons apple jelly, melted
Instructions
- Take the pie crust from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature before using. See package directions for time.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
- Cut the apple in half, then cut into thin slices.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar (save the rest of the sugar) with the flour, and stir well. Sprinkle over the pie crust.
- Arrange the apple slices onto the pie crust, starting 2-3 inches from the edge, then slightly overlapping. Repeat a second layer in the middle.
- Bring the edges of the pie crust up, to meet the apples, and cover the edges just slightly. Melt the butter, and brush it over the apples with a silicone brush or pastry brush. Then sprinkle the remaining sugar over the apples.
- Place the baking sheet on the center rack in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender, and slightly golden. Once the tart is removed from the oven, melt the jelly in a small bowl for about 30 seconds in the microwave, then brush over the apples. Serve warm, or allow to cool before serving.
