Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cooking Pan
  • Knife and/or Apple Corer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package Pre-Made Pie Dough
  • 4 Granny Smith Apples
  • 1.4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (20 grams)
  • 3/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 2 Cups Apple Juice
  • 1/2 Cup Caramel
  • 1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Pinch Cardamon

Instructions
 

  • Peel, core and quarter your apples, thinly slice the apple quarters, setting aside the end pieces and roughly chopping those for about ½ cup of chopped apple pieces.
  • Place peel and cores in a pan and set aside.
  • Arrange the apple slices in a circle on the crust, slightly overlapping, 4cm in from the pastry edge.
  • Spread chopped apple inside the circle, then arrange remaining slices in concentric circles on top, working towards the centre and overlapping slightly so there aren't any gaps.
  • Fold pastry edge over to create a crust, pressing to seal. Chill for 15 minutes.

Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees and brush the edges of your pastry with butter.
  • Sprinkle the apples with sugar and bake for 40-45 minutes until a nice golden brown color appears.

Make Caramel Sauce

  • Meanwhile, add your apple juice and ½ cup of sugar to the pan with peels and cores. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, then strain to separate from the solids.
  • Return to pan and simmer for a further 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until syrupy.
  • Stir in your caramel and keep warm.
  • Pour your sauce over the top of your tart and serve with icecream!
