INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 For the Crust, place flour, granulated sugar and salt in food processor; process until well blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture forms coarse crumbs about the size of peas. Drizzle with ice water; pulse just until dough comes together. Form dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
- 2 For the Apple Filling, mix granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and ginger in small bowl. Toss apple slices and vanilla in medium bowl. Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture; toss to coat well. Set aside.
- 3 Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured parchment paper to 14 to 16-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Place dough and parchment on large rimmed baking sheet. Spoon apple mixture into center of crust, spreading to within 3 inches of edges. Fold 3-inch edge of crust up over apples, pleating or folding crust as needed. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- 4 Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender and bubbly. Slide parchment with apple tart onto wire rack; cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
