Open Face Apple Tart

Directions

Roll pastry out and fit into flan pan.

Peel and core apples, cut into slices about ¼ inch thick; you should have about 6 cups.

Toss with lemon juice and sugar.

Arrange apple slices, slightly overlapping in circles on pastry; make 2 or 3 layers.

Scatter raisins over top if desired.

Drizzle with melted butter.

Place on bottom rack of 400℉ (200℃) oven and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

If apples start too brown too much, cover loosely with foil.

In small, saucepan, heat apricot jam until melted, spoon evenly over apples.

Bake for about 5 minutes more or until apples are glazed.

Let cool to room temperature. Dust with icing sugar if needed, and serve with whipped cream if desired.
