With so few ingredients and only a bit of sugar, the apples can really shine. Look for sweet apples that hold their shape after baking like Golden Delicious, Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. If you’d like a little more acidity you can mix the apples to include more tart varieties like Granny Smith. Brushing the crust with heavy cream helps achieve a bit of shine and nice color. If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use milk or a lightly beaten egg to create a similar effect.","servings":8,"servings_text":"8 to 10 servings","prep_time":"PT50M","cook_time":"PT1H10M","total_time":"PT2H","ingredients":[{"text":"½ teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon (optional)","item":"ground cardamom or cinnamon","quantity":0.5,"unit":"tsp","preparation":"optional"},{"text":"¼ cup/50 grams sugar, plus more for sprinkling","item":"cup/50 grams sugar","quantity":0.25,"preparation":"plus more for sprinkling"},{"text":"Flour, for rolling","item":"Flour, for rolling"},{"text":"1 disk sweet tart crust, chilled","item":"disk sweet tart crust","quantity":1,"preparation":"chilled"},{"text":"3 small apples (such as Golden Delicious, Pink Lady or Honeycrisp)","item":"small apples","quantity":3,"preparation":"such as Golden Delicious, Pink Lady or Honeycrisp"},{"text":"2 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into pieces","item":"cold salted butter, cut into pieces","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"2 tablespoons heavy cream","item":"heavy cream","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"2 tablespoons apricot jam","item":"apricot jam","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
