for the dough:
• in the work bowl of a Cuisinart, fitted with the metal blade, pulse the super fine white rice flour, potato starch, sweet rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, Celtic sea salt, and organic cane sugar. pulse to combine.
• add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• while pulsing the food processor, add the ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time. the dough should be crumbly to the touch. if you can pinch the dough together and it stays together, you have added enough water.
• place a piece of plastic wrap on your work surface. slowly pour the dough onto the plastic wrap and form it into a disc. wrap tightly with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 2-3 days.
• while the dough is resting, prep the apples.

for the filling:
• in a large glass bowl, combine the maple sugar, organic cane sugar, brown rice flour, Celtic sea salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
• mix to make a paste
• add the peeled, cored, and sliced apples. mix to coat evenly.
• set aside.

to assemble:
• preheat oven to 375*
• set chilled dough on a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with white rice flour. sprinkle the dough a bit more flour.
• roll the dough into a 12 – 14″ circle.
• transfer the dough and the parchment paper to a jelly roll pan (half sheet).
• place the prepared apples in the center of the pie crust.
• starting at any point, fold up crust 1/4 way over the apples. repeat until all of the crust is holding the apples like an open envelope.
• dot the apples with remaining 1 -2 tablespoons of butter. sprinkle with a bit more maple sugar.
• bake rustic tart for 30 – 40 minutes or until edges of crust are golden brown and the apple filling is slightly bubbling. if the top of the apples start to burn, cover with the tart with foil and continue baking until golden on the bottom.
