1 teaspoon lemon juice

What You Do —

1. Combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl.

2. Add in grated of smaller chopped butter into flour. Use your fingers to incorporate butter into flour until it clumps together a bit.

5. Preheat oven to 375°F.

6. If desired, peel apples. Slice very thinly and combine with lemon, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.

7. Remove dough from fridge and roll between two layers of plastic wrap until about 1/4 of an inch.

8. Use plastic wrap to place dough on parchment lined baking sheet.

9. Place apples in center of tart, leaving 1/2 inch edge around. Do not add extra juice.

10. Wrap edge around the apples.

11. Brush pastry with egg wash or cream.

12. Place in oven for 30 – 40 minutes depending on the size of your tart.
