If you’ve made apple pie before, you know how finicky it can be. Well this apple tart has room for *ahem* improvement, lets say. You have a bit of wiggle room with this easy recipe, so if you love spices, kick it up a notch and don’t worry about ruining your dessert with a measuring error.

- 1/8 tsp of nutmeg
- 1 tbsp of butter or butter substitute

Step three: Mix in sugar and stir together, then add in a tsp of flour and mix again
Step four: Place your apple mixture in the center of the pie crust, dot with butter
