Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and cold unsalted butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Gradually add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough comes together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim the edges and press the dough into the corners of the pan.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Arrange the apple mixture in a spiral pattern on top of the pastry crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
5
Fold the edges of the pastry crust up over the apple filling, pressing gently to seal. Brush the pastry crust with a little bit of milk or beaten egg for a golden glaze.
6
Bake the tart for 40-50 minutes, or until the pastry crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
