Prepare the crust by mixing 200 grams of flour, 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tbsp of salt, and 100 grams of butter until crumbly.

Add ⅓ cup of water to the mixture and form into a dough, then roll out and fit into a tart pan.

Peel, core, and slice the 4 medium size red apples thinly.

Arrange the apple slices evenly over the pastry.

In a bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup of heavy cream, ⅓ cup of milk, 3 eggs, and 1 packet of vanilla sugar or vanilla extract until smooth.

Pour the cream mixture over the apples in the tart.

Dot the top with small pieces of butter (if desired).

Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the top is golden.
