What to do:
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in food processor, pulse to mix. Add butter, pulse to a fine crumb. Add egg and water, pulse until dough forms a ball. (If wrapped tightly and refrigerated, dough holds for several days.)
- Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer dough to the tart pan and gently press it into the sides and bottom. Remove excess dough as needed. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Peel, core and halve apples. Cut apple halves into ¼-inch slices, not separating the slices. One at a time, transfer apple halves to the tart shell and fan the slices around the outside rim of the shell.
- Combine the sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes. Once baked, remove and cool tart in the pan.
- Bring the apricot preserves and water to a boil. Remove from the heat and liberally brush mixture over the apples. Remove tart from shell and serve warm or at room temperature. Perfect with ice cream or whipped cream.
