French Apple Tart

Pilsbury pie dough (yeah, I don't bake)
Apple preserves (or pear if you can't find apple)
1 vanilla bean, split length wise
3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 Granny Smith apples, skinned and sliced thin

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees

2. Roll dough to 12-in and place on pizza pan (I use the the one sold at Target with the holes and it worked well)

3. Brush dough with 1 1/2 Tablespoons of apple preserves. Place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.

4. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean and combine with brown sugar and nutmeg in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon over the dough.

5. Arrange apple slices on crust in a circle. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture over apples.

6. Bake for 35 minutes (it only took me 20 minutes before my crust and apples were done).

7. Brush 2 Tablespoons of apple preserves over cooked tart.

8. When serving, top with creme fraiche.

Based on yet another Cooking Light recipe.
