- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the Crust:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, salt and sugar. Add egg, shortening and water. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. If it seems too sticky add a touch of more flour; if it's crumble add more water, 1 spoonful at time. Knead gently and press into a tart dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until edges are slightly golden. Remove and let cool.
- For Topping & Filling:
- In a large pan over medium heat, cook down the apple slices with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cloves, ½ teaspoon lemon juice and ½ teaspoon lemon zest. Cook until the apples just begin to soften (figure 3-5 minutes). Remove from pan and transfer to a plate to cool.
- In a large glass bowl, toss the chopped apples with 2 tablespoons white sugar, cornstarch, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cloves, ½ teaspoon lemon juice and ½ teaspoon lemon zest. Place in pan and cook down until soft. Take a pastry blender and mash the softened apple chucks. The mixture should be thick and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.
- Pour the caramelized apples onto the crust.
- Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the caramelized apple sauce and bake tart for about 15 additional minutes.
- Removed and let cool before serving.
