Ingredients

  • 7 Golden Delicious apples, divided use
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • dash of salt
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1 tart shell
  • 4 Gala apples
  • 3 Tbsp of butter
  • 2 oz. bourbon
  • 2 Tbsp. honey, optional

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Peel, core and slice 4 of the Golden Delicious apples. Add the lemon juice, salt, cinnamon and horseradish, and cook at a very low temperature until it forms applesauce, about 20 minutes. Do not rush this step.

  3. Bake tart shell in oven until a light golden brown. Keep the oven on.

  4. Core the remaining 3 Golden Delicious apples and the gala apples and slice them thin. SSA bit of lemon juice will keep them from browning. Heat the apples in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to soften them slightly.

  5. When the applesauce is ready, drain any excess juice through a sieve or strainer and place the sauce in the bottom of the tart shell, standing the apples slices at an angle in the applesauce.

  6. In a small pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the bourbon and cook until reduced by half. Pour gracefully over the top of the completed tart. Bake for 20 minutes.

  7. Cool and serve, If desired, drizzle honey over the top.
