Apple Tart

Bon Appetit

Filling:
5         apples, peeled & sliced
5 T      butter
¾ C     sugar / brown sugar

Crust:
1½ C     flour
⅓+ C     sugar
6 T         butter
2            egg yolks
¼ t        salt

Prepare crust first by mixing flour, sugar and salt together. Mix in butter and egg yolks. Mix until dough forms (I add a bit of cold water to help it along, but don’t add too much). Cover and place in refridgerator.
Melt butter in a large oven-proof frying pan, and add sugar. Add apples and cook over medium heat stirring up the apples occasionally. Continue cooking until the sauce which forms is a dark caramel color. Remove from heat.
While apples cool, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and roll out crust on a floured surface to size of frying pan. Cover apples with crust and place in oven for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Options: Add 1/2 t Cinnamon to apples while they are cooking.
