Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chilled butter diced (1 stick, plus 3 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup ice water
  • 5 small apples or 3 large
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the stick of butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture resembles pebbles.
  • Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and kneed to form a ball.
  • Roll dough into a ball and then press into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Core and quarter the apples. Using a mandoline or knife, cut into ⅛-inch thick slices.
  • Add the apples, brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger to a large bowl. Toss to combine. Let sit for 45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes. This will make the apples pliable for the rosette pattern.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface. Carefully move it over to cast iron pan or pie plate. Press the dough evenly across the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Drain the apples. Arrange the apples in an overlapping pattern, starting from the outside and working in.
  • Sprinkle the remaining sugar and butter across the top of the tart.
  • Bake the tart for 50 to 60 minutes or until the apples and crust are golden.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
