Ingredients

Crust

  • 9oz speculoos cookies(finely crushed)
  • 4oz butter(melted)

Caramelized Apples

  • 4 pcs apples(peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • 2oz butter
  • 3oz sugar(granulated)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon(ground)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Optional Topping

  • whipped cream(for serving)

Instructions

Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed speculoos cookies with the melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan with a removable bottom.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.

Caramelized Apples

  1. In a large skillet, melt 2oz of butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced apples, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice during the last minute of cooking.

Assembly and Baking

  1. Spread the caramelized apples evenly over the pre-baked speculoos crust.
  2. Return the tart to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  3. Let the tart cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before carefully removing the sides of the tart pan.

Tips

  • For an easy crust, place speculoos cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  • Cook apples until they are tender but still hold their shape for the best texture in the tart.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the tart perfectly.
