Ingredients | Apple Tart Recipe South Africa

4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¼ cups white sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1.063 cups unsalted butter

4 eggs, beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and chopped

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup chopped walnuts

4 ounces apricot jam (if using jam, use less sugar) (Optional)

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1 1/4 cups sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but not more than 1 day.

While the dough is chilling, prepare the apple filling.

In a medium bowl, toss diced apples with sugar and cinnamon. Mix in walnuts.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 16 3-inch tart pans. Remove tart dough from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out.

Knead dough briefly on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle, and carefully fit one circle into each tart pan.

Spoon an equal amount of apple mixture into each tart pan. Fold pastry over filling. Place filled tarts on a baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Melt apricot jam and brush over finished tarts, if desired.
