Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs, beaten, divided

  • cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling:

  • 2 pounds tart apples - peeled, cored, and sliced

  • ½ cup sultanas or raisins

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan.

  2. Combine flour, butter, 1 1/2 eggs, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead by hand to form a smooth, consistent dough.

  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 10-inch circle; press over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.

  4. Mix apples, sultanas, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread over dough in the cake pan.

  5. Roll out remaining dough into a circle; cut into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Form an X in the center of the tart with the 2 longest strips. Create a lattice by weaving vertical and horizontal strips in an over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Press ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the tart; trim excess dough with a knife.

  6. Brush remaining beaten egg over dough.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is light brown, 60 to 65 minutes.
