Tips and Tricks
Chilling the Dough
For the flakiest crust, make sure to chill the dough for at least 20 minutes before rolling it out. This helps the butter stay cold, which creates a better texture when baking.
Rolling Out the Dough
To prevent sticking, roll out the dough between two pieces of wax paper. This also makes it easier to transfer the dough to the pan without tearing.
Arranging the Apples
When arranging the apple slices, start from the outer edge and work your way in. Overlapping the slices tightly will create a beautiful, rose-like pattern.
Preventing Over-Browning
If the apples start to brown too much while baking, cover the tart loosely with aluminum foil. This will keep the apples from burning while they finish cooking.
Serving Suggestions
For an extra touch, serve the tart warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It adds a delicious contrast to the buttery crust and tender apples.

Buttery Apple Tart That’s WW-Friendly
Equipment
- Tart Pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter cold, divided
- ⅓ cup 1% low fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour for rolling out dough
- 4 large granny smith apples
- 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon fat-free caramel topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place the oven rack in the lowest position and put a cookie sheet on the rack to heat.
- In a large bowl, place 1 cup of flour and the salt.
- Cut 3 tablespoons of cold butter into 4 or 5 pieces.
- Using a pastry cutter or fork, work the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are small, like peas.
- Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and work the dough until it starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork it; you should still see small pieces of butter.
- Gather the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap.
- Pat the dough into a flat, round shape like a hamburger. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 days.
- To roll out the dough, dust a large piece of wax paper with flour. Place the dough in the center.
- Dust the top of the dough with flour and cover it with another large piece of wax paper.
- Roll the dough out into a circle that is 11 or 12 inches wide.
- Remove the wax paper and place the dough in a 10-inch round cake or tart pan. Press the edges into a scalloped shape if you like.
- Chill the dough in the pan for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 days.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into ⅛-inch thick slices. Place the slices in a bowl as you work and sprinkle them with lemon juice.
- Arrange the apple slices in the pan, starting at the outside edge and working inwards, so they overlap tightly in concentric circles like a rose.
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top of the apples.
- Dot the tart with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces.
- Place the tart on the heated cookie sheet and bake until the apples are tender but not mushy, about 40 to 45 minutes. If the apples start to brown too much, cover the tart loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Drizzle the caramel topping over the tart.
- Slice the tart into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
