Recipe from Alsace

Quickly knead the flour, butter, powdered sugar, salt, and egg into a smooth dough. Form it into a ball, wrap it in foil, and chill for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 225 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit). Peel, quarter, and core the apples, cut them into wedges, and drizzle with lemon juice. Roll out the dough thinly, place it in the prepared tart pan, and prick several times with a fork. Arrange the apple slices in a flake-like pattern on the dough. Place knobs of butter on top and bake for 20 minutes. Melt the sugar in a pan until lightly browned. Stir in the apple juice. Remove the cake from the oven and drizzle with the sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 250 degrees Celsius (485 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the tart for another 8 minutes. Let it cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
