10tablespoonsunsalted buttermelted and slightly cooled
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F and center the oven rack.
Crumble Topping
In a bowl mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Rub the butter into the dry mixture until large crumbs are formed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
Apple Filling
In a large bowl combine thinly sliced apples, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
Tart Shell
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and combine until a dough forms.*
Press the mixture into the tart pan until it is smooth and even.
Constructing the Apple Crumble Tart
Arrange the apple slices tightly over the tart crust in groupings of 10 to 12. NOTE: To cut down on time throw the apple slices into the tart shell without arranging them.
Top with cold butter cubes and sprinkle the cold crumble topping on the outer edge of the tart and in the crevices, careful to not cover up the design.
Place tart on an aluminum cookie sheet.
Baking the Apple Crumble Tart
Bake for 1 hour or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. NOTE: If the crumble or apples begin to brown too much, loosely place aluminum foil over it and continue to bake the tart.
Remove from oven and let the tart cool completely.
Carefully remove the tart from the form. Slice and serve with caramel, ice cream, whipped cream, or on it's own.

Notes
*If the melted butter is too warm your tart shell dough will be extremely greasy and difficult to press into your tart pan. In the event this happens you will have to chill it for about 15 minutes before pressing into your tart pan.
Storing Information:
Stored at room temperature, covered for up to 3 days.
Stored refrigerated, covered for up to 7 days.
Stored frozen (baked or unbaked) for up to 1 months.
How to Cut the Apples:
Start off by cutting on both sides of the apple core (almost as if you are cutting the apple in half but not coming near the core). Then take those halves and cut thin vertical slices.
Best Types of Apples for Apple Tarts:
I recommend using a firmer apple like Fuji apples but Gala, Pink Lady, Honey Crisp, and even Granny Smith apples work great.
