Free Form Apple Tart


Sweet Harold brought home some apples from a friend yesterday.  I had a Pillsbury pie crust in the freezer.  I thawed it out for about 30 minutes, chopped up the apples, tossed them with some sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, piled it in the crust, baked it and voila!  Semi-instant dessert!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
I used 5 small/medium apples.  Peel, core and slice into 1/2 inch slices.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1 T. self-rising flour, 1/4 t. nutmeg and 1 t. cinnamon.

Add the sliced apples and gently stir to make sure the apple slices are well coated with the sugar mixture.


Place the pie crust on a baking stone or a lightly greased baking sheet and pile on the apple slices.
  

 Gently pull the pie crust around the apple slices and overlap as you go.


In a small bowl, light beat one egg with 1/2 t. water with a fork and then brush the egg mixture onto the crust.


Sprinkle the crust with sugar and place in oven for 20-22 minutes until crust has browned and apples are soft.


You can serve hot or at room temperature.  Oooooooh how about topped with some ice cream?
