How To Make This Caramel Apple Pecan Streusel Tart

Finely chopped pecans, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour are added to a small bowl, and stirred to combine. Melted butter is stirred in. Cold + cubed butter is worked in with the back of a fork. The streusel is set aside or refrigerated until ready to use.

Pecans are spread in a single layer on a baking or cookie sheet and toasted in a hot oven for 6 minutes. The pecans are removed from the oven and cooled.

The toasted pecans, old fashioned oats, and fine sea salt are ground fine in a food processor. Melted butter and maple syrup are added to the food processor and pulsed until well combined. The pecan oat mixture is transferred to a 9-inch removable bottom tart pan, and pressed into the bottom and sides.

The tart crust is baked in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven until firm, 10 to 12 minutes. The tart crust is cooled and then brushed with caramel sauce and sprinkled with finely chopped pecans.

Three to four of your favorite red apples are peeled cored and sliced into 8 to 10 slices. The apples are sautéed in a mix of unsalted butter, fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and light brown sugar until tender.

The caramelized apples are arranged in a single layer over the finely chopped pecans. The reserved streusel is sprinkled over the apples.

The tart is baked in a hot oven for 30 minutes until the filling bubbles and the top is crispy.

I like to serve this tart warm with cold ice cream or whipped cream.
