Heavenly Caramel Apple Tart

1.In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2.Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

4.On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.

5.In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well coated. Arrange the apple mixture evenly over the tart crust.

6.In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract over medium heat until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the caramel sauce until smooth.

7.Drizzle the caramel mixture over the apples in the tart.

8.Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

9.Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
