Ingredients

    1(10-inch) circle unbaked pie crust
    3 tablespoonspure maple syrup
    5tart, firm apples (such as Pippin, Jonagold or Granny Smith), peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

Exclusively for Prime members in select ZIP codes.

Method

Preheat the oven to 425°F.


Place crust on a nonstick baking sheet or pizza pan.


Roll up outer edges and press lightly to form a thin band around the edge to hold in juices.


Prick bottom lightly with a fork, then brush bottom with 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Refrigerate until ready to use.


Working from the outside, overlap apples on prepared crust, forming them into a spiral toward the center. Keep the slices close together, as they shrink during cooking.


Mix remaining 2 tablespoons syrup with butter in a small bowl, then carefully brush the mixture evenly over the top of the tart.


Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until tart is golden brown.


Meanwhile, mix preserves with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and warm slightly.


Cool tart briefly, then gently brush the surface all over with the apricot glaze.


Serve immediately, or set aside to let cool completely.
