Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar substitute (like Swerve or monk fruit)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp cold light butter (or WW-friendly margarine)
- 2–3 tbsp cold water
For the filling:

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Optional glaze:

👩🍳 Directions:
- Make the crust:
- In a bowl, mix flour, sweetener, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add water a little at a time, mixing just until dough holds together.
- Press into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20–30 minutes.
- Prepare the apples:
- Toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar substitute, and nutmeg.
- Assemble the tart:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll dough into a thin circle and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tart pan.
- Arrange apples in overlapping concentric circles or however you like.
- Brush apples with melted butter.
- Bake:
- Bake 35–40 minutes, until crust is golden and apples are soft.
- Glaze (optional):
- Stir together jam and water, then brush over warm tart for a glossy finish.
💡 Tips:
- Serve warm or chilled with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt or light whipped topping.
- Swap apples for pears for a twist
