Maple Apple Tarte - Mapple Tarte

This morning felt like a Maple-Apple-Tarte-morning. So before breakfast I got to work to fulfill what felt like this morning's destiny.

For a pie crust I like to use this recipe. I make only half of it and I can line my pie pan twice or make a covered pie with it.

For the filling I was trying to find a recipe that I used to make some years ago. But I couldn't find it. So here is my approximation of what I remember.

Maple-Apple-Tarte filling: 
4 apples (e.g. Granny Smith)
1/4 stick of butter
1/2 cup apricot jam (preferably one with more fruits than sugar)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
a little bit of butter and 2 tbsp of maple syrup for the top
Peel and cut 3 apples in little chunks and mix with butter, jam, maple syrup and brown sugar in a pot. Bring to a boil and stir until apples are tender (I like my apple tarte filling very soft).
Fill the apple sauce in the pastry shell. Peel and cut the remaining apple into half, then quarters, core and cut of thin slices to decorate the tarte. Drizzle with a little bit of butter and 2 tbsp of maple syrup.
Bake at 375F for about 30-35 minutes, until apples begin to brown.
Enjoy with whipped cream and/or ice cream!

Fearing that it would end up too sweet (with the jam, brown sugar and maple syrup), I added very little sugar to the whipped cream.
It turned out appropriately sweet for a pie, but I would try this recipe next time with no sugar, or maybe with no jam and more apples as I don't like my desserts / breakfasts too sweet :)
