    This Rustic Apple Tart is a simple fall dessert with a beautiful presentation. Spiced fresh apples are combined with brown sugar and cinnamon and baked into a golden brown crust in this deceptively simple recipe. This easy apple pie without the pan has a warm, rustic flavor. The apples are tender, and are spiced with cinnamon and sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature at your next party or gathering.
