Thin French Apple Tart

Oh my goodness I'm having soooo much fun with these apples!! I have made several batches of dried apples, packing them into Joe and my lunches for snack time. Today I wanted to surprise Joe with a special treat--he's been working so hard on our house projects. I pulled him away for this little treat :) I think you will love it, too. Make it for your family or when you have company--it's totally a crowd pleaser and your guests will never have to know that it's so simple to make.






Ingredients

1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Roll out the dough on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar mixture over dough. Arrange apple slices spokelike on top of dough, working from outside edge of dough to the center. Sprinkle apple slices with remaining sugar mixture. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes.

Combine honey and vanilla in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high 40 seconds. Brush honey mixture over warm tart. Serve warm.
