Ingredients
  • 15 ounce Refrigerated pie crusts
  • 4 whole Golden Delicious apples
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 0.13 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup Apricot jam
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Peel, core, and slice the Golden Delicious apples into thin wedges.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
  4. 4
    Unroll the pie crusts onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing them flat to form a single large rectangle or two overlapping circles.
  5. 5
    Arrange the spiced apple slices in a single layer over the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
  6. 6
    Fold the edges of the dough up and over the apples, pleating as necessary to create a rustic border that leaves the center of the fruit exposed.
  7. 7
    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. 8
    While the tart bakes, warm the apricot jam in a small saucepan or microwave until liquid.
  9. 9
    Once baked, brush the warm apricot jam over the apples and crust for a glossy finish.
  10. 10
    Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
