Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sour cream and sugar, pulse until the mixture forms a ball (This should take about 1 minute) Remove and press into an ungreased 10 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. (if you don't have a food processor, you can cut through the pastry with a pastry knife or two table knives until you achieve the appropriate texture.) Bake the crust for 15 minutes, until set. Reduce oven to 350 degrees. Arrange apple slices on the crust, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and then scatter the butter pieces around the tart. Bake for 45 minutes. (Place tart on a cookie sheet to protect from spillovers or butter seepage.) When tart is done, brush with the preserves. It is best served warm with ice cream.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to mix the butter and flour together.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
- Bake the tart in a preheated oven to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving.
