Preheat your oven to 375°F. If using a store-bought pie crust, unroll it and carefully place it into a 9-inch tart pan. If making homemade pie crust, roll it out to fit the tart pan. Prick the bottom of the pie crust several times with a fork.

Wash and core the apples. Slice the apples very thinly, about 1/8-inch thick, using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Aim for uniform slices.

Arrange the thinly sliced apples neatly in the prepared pie crust. Start from the outside edge and overlap the slices slightly, working your way towards the center in a circular pattern until the entire tart is covered.

Distribute the small cubes of butter evenly over the arranged apples. Sprinkle the granulated sugar generously over the apples and butter.

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, and the crust is golden brown. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, you can cover them loosely with aluminum foil.

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the tart to set.

To serve, cut the tart into individual slices. Top each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest, if desired.
