Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup butter, softened
•
2 eggs, beaten, divided
•
1/3 cup white sugar
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
2 pounds tart apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
•
1/2 cup sultana raisins
•
1/4 cup white sugar
•
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan.
2
Combine flour, butter, 1 1/2 eggs, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead by hand to form a smooth, consistent dough.
3
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 10-inch circle; press over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
4
Mix apples, sultanas, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread over dough in the cake pan.
5
Roll out remaining dough into a circle; cut into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Form an X in the center of the tart with the 2 longest strips. Create a lattice by weaving vertical and horizontal strips in an over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Press ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the tart; trim excess dough with a knife.
6
Brush remaining beaten egg over dough.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is light brown, 60 to 65 minutes.
