To make this delicious tart, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon cold water

For the filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and water, and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Arrange the sliced apples on top of the baked crust. Pour the chocolate mixture over the apples and smooth out the top. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Once the tart is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
