Dutch Caramel Apple Tart

October 17, 2017 by Angela LeMoine 9 Comments

I love apple season! We are lucky enough here in NJ to have plenty of local farms to go and pick our own. This Dutch Caramel Apple Tart is such a perfect Fall dessert. Grab a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream and dig in! 

Is there anything more classic then apple pies? I had some refrigerated pie dough on hand and decided rather then a traditional apple pie I’d go with something a little more fun…a Dutch Caramel Apple Tart! Its a little rustic and I LOVE a crumble topping!

I used granny smith apples in this tart. I love how well they hold up when baking and I enjoy the tartness with the sweetness of the rest of the tart. The apples are simply tossed with flour, sugar, cinnamon, butter, diced caramels and a pinch of salt.

I par-bake the tart dough just for about 8 minutes so it doesn’t become soggy. You just unroll the dough into a greased tart pan, pressing the dough up the sides of the pan. Poke some holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up and par-bake. You then just pour in the apple mixture and top with a really simple crumble.

The crumble is made up of old fashioned oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and butter. This Dutch Caramel Apple Tart bakes up just beautifully! That gooey caramel with the tart apples and the crumble… Oh. My. Goodness. Just pure heaven!! Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on a cool Fall day and enjoy!!
