French Apple Tart (Tarte aux Pommes)

By /

The French apple tart is a true masterpiece of simplicity — a crisp, buttery pastry base topped with perfectly arranged thin apple slices, brushed with a golden apricot glaze. This classic tarte aux pommes lets the quality of the ingredients shine, making it both impressive and deeply satisfying. A staple of every French pâtisserie!

Ingredients (serves 6-8)

  • For the pastry: 250 g flour, 125 g cold butter (cubed), 50 g icing sugar, 1 egg, pinch of salt
  • For the filling: 4 eating apples (Cox, Gala, or Golden Delicious)
  • 30 g butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • For the glaze: 4 tbsp apricot jam, 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Make the pastry: rub butter into flour and icing sugar until breadcrumb-like. Add egg and work into a dough. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out the pastry and line a 24cm tart tin. Blind bake at 180°C for 15 minutes.
  3. Peel, core, and very thinly slice the apples. Arrange in overlapping concentric circles over the pastry.
  4. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 35-40 minutes until the apples are tender and the pastry is golden.
  6. Heat the apricot jam with the water until runny. Brush over the hot tart for a beautiful glaze.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature, with crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream.

🍎 Bon appétit! This classic tart is the perfect ending to any French meal.
