Instructions
- To start, I add the dry ingredients to a bowl or food processor, the sugar, self-raising flour, and the cold butter cut into cubes. Make sure the butter is straight out of the fridge. This is particularly important, especially if you are making the dough without a food processor, as the mixture will be too sticky otherwise and difficult to handle.
- If you are using a food processor, just give it a few spins until all the butter is incorporated and the mixture resembles breadcrumbs or sand. If you don’t have a food processor, that is absolutely fine, I’ve often made the dough for this apple crumble tart using just my hands. Simply, start rubbing the butter into the flour mixture until it looks like breadcrumbs. If you shake the bowl then any lumps will come up to the surface. Try not to use your palms as you don’t want the butter to melt.
- Now it’s time to add the wet ingredients. I move the dry ingredients to a big bowl and add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Using my hands or a spatula, I start mixing everything and adding some pressure with my hands until it forms into a dough. If the mixture is still too crumbly then add one more tablespoon of milk. I leave the dough to rest in the fridge, while I prepare the apple filling. If you leave it out at room temperature the butter will get soft and then it will be more difficult to handle the dough.
- For the filling, I’m using two large apples. You could use any type of apples you like. I prefer to use more tart apples like a pink lady or red delicious apples rather than the very sweet ones since we will be adding some sugar to the filling. I peel the apples, remove any seeds and hard bits from the core, and then cut them into cubes.
- I add all the apple cubes to a bowl along with the cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and soft brown sugar. Make sure that the brown sugar you will use is soft or muscovado otherwise if it’s too granule, it will not dissolve. As for the walnuts, I’m using about a cup that I roughly chop. If you don’t like walnuts or have a nut allergy you could leave them out.
- Now we are ready to start assembling the tart. I add half of the dough to the bottom of a tart tin that is about 9 inches wide. Using my hands, I spread the dough all around the tart tin evenly making sure that it is a bit raised around the edges.
- I add the apple and walnut filling and spread it evenly to cover all the dough.
- For the top of the apple crumble tart, I’m using the remaining dough. I just grab little bits of dough and sprinkle it on top with my fingertips until all the apple filling is kind of covered. Don’t worry if there are little bits of apple filling uncovered. The dough will rise and cover it while it’s in the oven.
- Make sure your oven is preheated before placing the apple crumble tart inside. It will only take 20-25 minutes to get baked so do keep an eye on it as we don’t want it to get burnt. When it’s ready, I take it out of the oven and leave it to cool down for 10-15 minutes as it’s too fragile to handle when it’s hot.

Notes

- You could use any type of apples you like. If you like the filling to be softer, you could grate the apples instead of cutting them into cubes.
- If you don't like the nuts or you have a nut allergy, you could leave the walnuts out.

I recommend storing the apple crumble tart at room temperature and consume within a week. It might get a bit softer after a couple of days but it will still taste amazing.
