This easy cherry apple crumble tart is one of my all-time favorite desserts. Crisp buttery tart shell filled with sweet, caramelized apples, plump cherries and a to die for brown sugar crumble topping.
STEP 1: Combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and cold butter inside a bowl of stand mixer. Mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg and vanilla and mix until dough comes together.
STEP 2: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Once pliable, lightly dust your surface with flour and roll the dough into a round circle, about ¼" thick.
STEP 5: Place a parchment round into the tart shell and fill with pie weights (or uncooked rice or beans). Place tart onto a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes.
STEP 7: Peel, core and slice the apples ⅛” thick. Add to a large bowl and stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, brown sugar, salt, flour, melted butter and dried cherries.
STEP 8: In a medium bowl combine flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Whisk to combine. Then, stir in melted butter with a fork until crumbly.
STEP 9: Pour apple mixture into pre-baked tart shell. Then, sprinkle crumble mixture evenly over the top of the apples. Gently press to adhere the crumble to the apples. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes.
