TART SHELL
FILLING
Preheat the oven to 425øF.
Combine the flour, thyme and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add water, 1 Tbsp at a time, until the dough begins to come together.
Form into disk; chill for 15 minutes.
For the filling, in a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples, onion, garlic and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are golden, about 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12x16 -inch rectangle. Transfer to a baking sheet. Spoon the filling onto the shell to within 1½-inches of the edges. Fold the edges over the filling to form a border.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
