Ingredients

  • 1 batch The Only Pie Dough You'll Ever Need recipe below
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Apple Filling recipe below
  • Salted Caramel Sauce recipe below
  • Maple Whiskey Buttercream recipe below

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350F
  • Take half of the pie dough and make a rectangle shaped lump of dough. Roll to about 1/8" thick.
  • Cut into evenly sized rectangles. Repeat with the other half of the pie dough.
  • Pair up the rectangles making sure that you have an even amount.
  • Whisk together egg and water. Brush along the edges of one rectangle dough, place a heaping tablespoon of apple filling in the middle. Lay the second rectangle piece on top.
  • Using a fork, crimp around the entire edge of the tart. Repeat for the rest of the rectangle sets.
  • Poke two sets of holes in the top with a fork to prevent large bubbles in the dough.
  • Bake until golden, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Frost with the Maple Whiskey Buttercream and drizzle with Salted Caramel Sauce. Pour yourself a few fingers of whiskey and enjoy!
