Making a flaky apple tart is all about the dough and baking it just right! For the best crust, use cold butter and handle the dough gently to keep it light and airy. When it comes to baking, make sure your oven is preheated so the tart cooks evenly and gets that lovely golden color. Adding a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking can give you that extra crispy finish. Happy baking!

Choosing the right apples helps me achieve that perfectly flaky apple tart. I specifically use Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji. Another technique I swear by is to use a food processor. This tool helps cut the butter into the flour quickly and evenly. Because of that, it results in a flaky tart.
