Wholemeal tart with apples
author: Alessandra
about 2 hours
10 servings
 For the dough:
 
  • 600 g (21 oz) wholemeal flour
  • 300 g (10 ½ oz) veggie margarine, diced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 8 tablespoons water
  • A pinch of salt
 
For the filling:
  • 1 kg (2.20 lb) red apples, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (or more, if you like it)
  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 slice lemon

Put the wholemeal flour on a clean surface. Make a well in the center and add the diced margarine, the sugar and a pinch of salt. Knead until the mixture is almost smooth. Add the water and knead again until it is completely smooth. Cover with a table cloth and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

For the filling:

Place the chopped apples, the slice of lemon, the sugar and the cinnamon in a frying pan. Let them cook over medium heat until they are reduce to a jam.

Bring out the dough from the fridge, divide it into two parts and roll them up. Use one half to cover a medium tart mould (previously greased and floured). Fill with the apples and cinnamon mixture and cover with the other half.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4) for about 30 minutes or until golden.
