Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup ice-cold water
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

For the Filling:

  • 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Crumble:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Make the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until dough comes together in a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Mix well to coat.
  2. Melt butter and pour over apple mixture. Toss until apples are evenly coated.

Make the Cream Cheese Crumble:

  1. Beat softened cream cheese with confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  2. Gradually add cold butter, beating until crumbly. Stir in chopped pecans and maple syrup.

Assembly and Baking

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
  2. Transfer dough to a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom.
  3. Arrange apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
  4. Top apples with cream cheese crumble mixture, spreading it evenly over the fruit.
  5. Fold crust up over the filling, pressing gently to seal. Trim excess dough and crimp to form a decorative edge.
  6. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve

Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
