How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Step
For the dough, put the flour, butter, oil, sugar, and salt in a food processor and process for about 10 seconds.
3. Step
Add the Tablespoon of ice water and process for another five or six seconds.
4. Step
Remove from the bowl and form into a flat dough. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
5. Step
Lightly flour a work surface and roll the ball of dough into a thin layer, around ¼ inch (6 ⅓ mm) thick.
6. Step
Using a round cutter, or use a round bowl or lid as a guide and cut out into a nice round circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a large cookie sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat.
7. Step
Arrange the apple slices, alternating them nicely on top of the dough. Sprinkle the apple with sugar and put butter cubes on top.
8. Step
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the fruit is soft and the dough nicely browned.
9. Step
Some of the juice from the fruit will have leaked out onto the cookie sheet. Before it hardens and makes the disks stick to the sheet, lift the tart with a broad spatula and transfer them to a cooling rack or platter.
10. Step
Serve lukewarm or at room temperature with ice cream (optional).
