Apple tart


  Yesterday my sweet tooth asked me to make some snacks for it,  then only i realized it has been a while since i last tried something new . So me decided to bake something sweet for him. I love baking, they fill my house with the fresh, heart filling smell. Yesterday I bought some apples from formers market, so its a tart day i think. It is easy to make, if you don't have time you can use defrosted pastry as a base. I used honey instead of apricot jam. If you use apricot jam you will get amazing glaze which is missing here.



For the pastry
                             All purpose flour   2 cups
       salt  1/2tsp
      sugar 1tsp
          butter 1stick
                         ice water ,reg amount

For the apples 
                                Apples 4, peeled & sliced
               sugar 1/2 cup
                 butter 1/4 stick
                             apricot jam /honey 3tsp
                



Method

For the pastry mix all blend it until the butter is in the size peas, pour water to get the dough. Kneed & refrigerate for 1 hour.


     Pre heat oven for 400 deg. Place the apple. Sprinkle the sugar & butter. Bake for an hour until the edges of the apple starts to brown



                       When its done remove from the oven & spread the honey/jam. Serve warm or cool
