- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.
- Roll out the dough into a circle with a thickness of about 1/8 of an inch.

- Mix the apple slices together with the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Pour the apples into the prepared pie crust.
- Dot the apples with butter.
- Trim the edges of the pie with a sharp knife.
- In a food processor, mix the flour, brown sugar and butter together until crumbly.
- Stir in the walnuts and spoon the topping over the apples in the prepared pie crust.
- Bake the tart for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is light brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes and serve.
