This apple tart is so easy to make. The great thing is you don't need any fancy equipment or fluted tart pans or techniques. Just throw everything in a pan and put it in the oven!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
5 medium apples
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 stick cold butter
2 Tbsp milk
Steps:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Move oven rack to lowest position.
Place flour in a big bowl. Chop up butter and use two forks or a pastry cutter to mix the two until its a sand-like texture.
Slowly add the milk while you mix the butter and flour until it turns into dough.
Wrap in plastic and place dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Pour your sugar into the bottom of the baking pan. I used a dry 5 x 8 inch nonstick loaf pan.
Peel the apples, and cut into 12ths. It's best to use hard apples with the least amount of juice, similar to Granny Smith's.
Place the apples in rows on top of the sugar. Stack the rows until your pan is full.
Remove the dough from the fridge and while it's still in plastic, flatten it with a rolling pin until its the size of the top of your pan full of apples. Check if the sizes match by holding it over the pan.

When it's about the right size, cut the plastic off. You can cut off any overhanging pieces to patch any holes.
Place the dough on your apples and tuck into the sides.
Bake in oven on lowest oven rack position for 40 minutes.
Remove from oven. Let cool for a few minutes. While it's still warm, flip it over onto a large dish. Serve with cream, if desired. :)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On lightly floured surface, roll out pie crust to 13 inch circle; transfer to baking sheet or 14 inch pizza pan. Cut apple slices crosswise in half; place in large bowl. Drizzle with butter.
