    List of Ingredients




    Caramel sauce
    1 1/2 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
    1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
    6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

    Crust
    1 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
    1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
    1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced
    2 large egg yolks

    Filling
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 tablespoon unbleached all purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
    6 large McIntosh or Golden Delicious apples (about 2 3/4 pounds), peeled, quartered, cored

    Recipe



    For caramel sauce:
    Bring sugar, cream, and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until sugar dissolves. Boil until caramel thickens enough to coat spoon thickly, whisking often, about 10 minutes. DO AHEAD Caramel sauce can be made 5 days ahead. Cover; chill. Whisk over low heat until warm before using.

    For crust:
    Blend flour, powdered sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and blend until coarse meal forms. Add egg yolks. Pulse until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD Dough for tart crust can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

    For filling:
    Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add apples and toss until evenly coated.

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Cut overhang even with top of pan sides. Press sides of dough to bring 1/4 inch above sides of pan. Arrange apple quarters, cut side down, in circle around outer edge of pan, fitting snugly. Cut remaining apple quarters lengthwise in half; stand in center of tart, fitting snugly.

    Bake tart until apples are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove tart from oven; brush with some of caramel sauce. Cool tart to room temperature. Rewarm remaining caramel sauce. Drizzle tart lightly with sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
    Makes 8 servings.
