Apple Tart Recipe

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you’ve had a great weekend and today is wonderful as well 😊

I wanted to share this Apple Tart Recipe that I made over week because it’s delicious!! This crust is possibly my favorite now. I did not make it completely like a tart because I don’t have a tart pan and I didn’t brush it with apricot preserves at the end. Regardless, still scrumptious! Enjoy!
