Caramelized Apple and Walnut Tart

Ingredients:

• For the crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3-4 tbsp ice water
• For the filling:
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Make the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring until combined. Add the sliced apples and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized. Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped walnuts. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Assemble the tart: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Pour the apple and walnut filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake the tart: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool before serving.
5. Serve and enjoy: Slice and serve the tart warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce!

This caramelized apple and walnut tart is the perfect combination of sweet, crunchy, and buttery goodness!
