apple crumble tart recipe

Last time I made this tart my husband said “how is it that you won’t eat apple pie and yet you make such a delicious one?”.  It’s true, I am not a fan of apple pie, tart, etc… BUT this one is always a huge hit.  I bake and cook each component separately, the cumble, the crust and the filling, then bring them all together in one dessert.  It keeps the crust more crisp that way, which I’m a huge fan of.

better than an apple pie the components of this dessert are cooked and baked separately so the crust and crumble say crisp perfectly complimenting the soft sweet apples

They are many different crust options out there, flaky pie crust, crumb crust, Pâte Brisée (for savory foods like this quiche), Pàte Sucrée (sweet) and what I used for this one a Pâte Sablée (Sandy).  You CAN use the Pàte Sucrée if you want, but I love this crumbly texture for this dessert.  It pairs nicely with the crumble topping!

topped with an oat and sugar crumble this apple pie based filling is amazing in this prebaked Pâte Sablée tart crust

this sweet crumbly crust, a Pâte Sablée, is perfect with this flavorful apple filling an sweet brown sugar cumble

And there you have it! A fairly quick dessert (if you have the crust premade at least) and a tasty one too!  I may prefer chocolate, but I do understand why people like this one.  It’s perfect for a Fall party and well any fall event! What is YOUR favorite fall comfort foods?

Similar to an apple pie in flavor the tart crust, filling and crumble are all cooked separately then put together for a delicious dessert with a great crunch
