Apple Tart

Give your rolling pin the day off and try this delicious Apple Tart with Press-In Crust. Made with simple ingredients, this fuss-free apple tart is a fall favorite.

I like to put things in writing. This past week I’ve penned a to-do list, a to-don’t list and a resignation letter to my boss. And, since there’s no such thing as a coincidence, all 3 are intricately connected. Finding a new job topped my to-do list and staying at my current job was a to-don’t (thus, the need for the resignation letter). Basically, I cancelled my job like my gym membership and I couldn’t be happier to not be working or working out.

Sadly, my jubilation is only temporary: I eat too many desserts to stop exercising and I can’t afford desserts without a job. Life is cruel that way. Luckily, I’ve already found another company willing to finance my food addiction. No, it’s not my dream job taste-testing pies for the Pioneer Woman, but it’s still a pretty sweet position. And since I’m no longer working 65 hours a week, I have plenty of time to make my own pies.

Then again, I’m too lazy to make a real pie. Lacking the patience for dough rolling and crimping, today I’m opting for a tart with press-in crust. And since I’m already taking the easy way out with the dough, the filling may as well follow suit. That’s why I’m cramming as many sliced apples into the crust as possible and topping them with nothing but cinnamon, sugar and butter.

The beauty of this dessert is that comes together with a no-roll crust and 4-ingredient filling. It’s homemade without the hard work. So whether you’re having a last minute sugar craving or a take-this-job-and-shove it celebration, this Apple Tart is a quick fix treat to satisfy any need.

Before sharing the Apple Tart recipe, here are some tips and tricks to help you out:

Crisp apples with tender skins like Honey Crisp, work best for this recipe. Granny Smith are not recommended because the skins are too tough.

Be sure to cool the melted butter before incorporating with the remaining crust ingredients.

My tart baked in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, but a 9-inch ceramic tart pan or a 9-inch pie plate can be substituted.

To store, cover tart tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days.

Yes, you can freeze this apple tart up to 3 months. After baking and cooling completely, wrap tart tightly with plastic wrap then with aluminum foil and freeze. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
