| Comments: This European-style tart is easily shaped on a cookie sheet and has an extra cinnamony aroma while it bakes. Enjoy it warm from the oven. |
Ingredients:  Crust: 1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (from 15 oz. box), softened as directed on box Filling: 1/2 cup graulated sugar 4 teaspoons cornstarch 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 4 cups thinly sliced, peeled cooking apples (4 medium) 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts Topping: Whipped cream, if desired |
| Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Remove pie crust from pouch; place crust flat on work surface. If necessary, press out folds or creases. Place crust on ungreased cookie sheet. 2. In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon. Gently stir in apples. Spoon apple mixture onto center of crust, spreading to within 2 inches of edges. Fold crust edges over filling to form 2-inch border, pleating crust as necessary. Brush crust edge with water; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. 3. Bake 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle pecans over apple mixture. Bake 5 to 15 minutes longer or until apples are tender. Serve with whipped cream. Makes 8 servings. |
