Caramel Apple Coffee Jam Tart

A rustic apple tart glazed with our Sweet Home Caramel Apple Coffee Jam for a cozy, bakery-style dessert with minimal effort.

This Caramel Apple Jam Tart is everything we love about fall baking without the fuss. Thinly sliced apples are layered into a buttery tart crust, baked until tender, and finished with a glossy caramel apple jam glaze that adds rich sweetness and depth. It’s elegant enough for entertaining, but simple enough for a weeknight dessert when you want something warm and comforting.
