1

Cut two apples into cubes and place them in a skillet. Add the brandy and two tablespoons of brown sugar, then cook for about 10 minutes.
2

Blend the mixture well with an immersion blender. Add the cinnamon, mix well, and let it cool.
3

Slice the remaining apples thinly and preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Place the pie crust in a tart pan, prick the bottom with a fork, and pour in the blended apple mixture.
4

Spread the mixture evenly and decorate with the apple slices. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar over the top and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
5

When the tart is golden and cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
