This Thin French Apple Tart is not only satisfying to make, as you can create your own apple art. It's a simple recipe with a visually stunning result.
Grind the walnuts fine. Do this with a food processor, a knife or with a rolling pin.
Spread the walnuts over the bottom of the pie.
Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle that over the thin layer of walnuts.
Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Place the slices in the pie form. You can do this in rows, in circles, each slice slightly overlapping the previous or create a pattern of your own. (NOTE 2)
Sprinkle the apple slices with remaining tablespoon of sugar and place the tart in your oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes.
Warm the apricot preserves in a microwave and brush it over the apples slices immediately after the pie comes out of the oven.
Allow the Thin French Apple Tart to cool completely.
ENJOY!
Notes
You will have a little bit of dough left-over, which you can just sprinkle with some cheese or sugar and you’ll have a few cookies for later.
For this delicate thin pie, I prefer to peel the apples, but if you like to keep the peel on for color and fiber that will work as well.
