Appeltaart (Dutch Apple Tart)

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups butter , softened
• 2 large eggs , beaten, divided
• 0.33 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan.

2. 2

   Combine flour, butter, 1 1/2 eggs, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead by hand to form a smooth, consistent dough.

3. 3

   Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 10-inch circle; press over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.

4. 4

   Mix apples, sultanas, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread over dough in the cake pan.

5. 5

   Roll out remaining dough into a circle; cut into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Form an X in the center of the tart with the 2 longest strips. Create a lattice by weaving vertical and horizontal strips in an over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Press ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the tart; trim excess dough with a knife.

6. 6

   Brush remaining beaten egg over dough.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is light brown, 60 to 65 minutes.
