This European-style tart is easily shaped on a cookie sheet and has an extra-cinnamony aroma while it bakes. Enjoy it warm from the oven.
Ingredients:
crust
1 pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box
filling
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 cups thinly sliced, peeled cooking apples
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
topping
whipped cream, if desired
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove pie crust from pouch; place flat on ungreased cookie sheet.
2. In medium bowl, mix 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon. Gently stir in apples. Spoon apple mixture onto center of crust, spreading to within 2 inches of edge. Fold crust edge over filling to form 2-inch border, pleating crust as necessary.
