Do you ever have those days when you want to make something special but don’t want to spend too much time or effort? Well, I recently had one of those days and I knew that a tasty apple rose tart was the perfect solution. This tart is so simple to make, but looks impressive and is absolutely delicious! I was inspired to make this tart after a recent family gathering. My aunt is an amazing baker and she made a beautiful apple tart and I wanted to try to recreate it.

I started by pre-baking the tart crust. I used a 9-inch tart pan and some store-bought crust. I rolled it out and placed it in the tart pan, then lined it with parchment paper and filled it with pie weights. This helped to ensure that the crust stayed nice and flaky. I pre-baked the crust for about 10 minutes, until it was golden brown.

Next, I prepared the apples. I used a sharp knife to slice the apples into thin slices. I then arranged the apple slices in a circular pattern, starting from the outside and working my way in. I used the remaining apple slices to create the rose pattern on top of the tart. I brushed the apples with a bit of melted butter and sprinkled some sugar on top. I then baked the tart for about 40 minutes, until the apples were soft and the crust was golden brown.

Once the tart was finished baking, I let it cool completely before sprinkling it with powdered sugar. The result was a beautiful and tasty apple rose tart that my family absolutely loved. It was perfectly sweet and the flaky crust was the perfect complement to the soft apples. I’m so glad that I was able to recreate my aunt’s tart, and I can’t wait to make it again!
