This tart is made on a baking sheet instead of in a pie plate. It's a beautiful tart with the great flavor of apples and maple syrup.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 two-crust pastry recipe
- 1 cup sweetened cornflakes cereal (Frosted Flakes), slightly crushed
- 5 cups peeled, thinly sliced apples
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tbsp. maple syrup

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out two crusts to 10" circles. Place one crust on ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle cornflakes over crust, leaving a 1" border. Top evenly with apples and nuts, leaving 1" border. In medium bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and blend well. Sprinkle over apples and nuts.
Brush edge of crust with the beaten egg white and top with second crust. Fold edge of bottom crust over top crust and pinch with fingers. Flute edges, then cut decorative slits in top crust. Then brush with more beaten egg white. Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and cardamom and sprinkle on crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown, juices are bubbling in the center, and apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
In small bowl, combine powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and melted butter until blended. Drizzle over warm tart. 8-10 servings
