French Apple Tart
Baking and Desserts • French
Description
In this recipe, I used a firm variety of apples — Granny Smith. If you like jam, you can use softer varieties for making the apple compote. The amount of ingredients is calculated for a mold with a diameter of 26–28 cm. http://enjoy-your-food.blogspot.com
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour 10 oz
- Butter 5 oz
- Granulated sugar 0 oz
- Whole egg 3 pieces
- Vanillin ⅓ teaspoon
- Green Apples 7 pieces
- Water 4 tablespoons
- Clarified Butter 0 oz
- Brown Sugar 0 oz
- Ground Cinnamon ½ teaspoon
- White Beans ½ piece
- Lemon ½ piece
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
For the dough, sift the flour into a bowl, add the grated cold butter, and mix.
Step 2
Add the granulated sugar and vanillin, and mix gently.
Step 3
Add the egg yolks and quickly form the dough into a ball. Place it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Step 4
For the apple compote, peel 1–2 apples, and cut them into small cubes. Place them in a saucepan, add water, 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, then remove from heat. Let cool.
Step 5
Now it's time for the filling. Peel the remaining 4–5 apples, remove the cores, and carefully slice them into thin wedges. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 6
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out to about 4 mm thick. Transfer the dough to the mold (you can use a rolling pin for easier transfer). Press the edges well with your hands or a ball of dough, and trim the excess dough from the edges with a rolling pin. Make holes with a fork.
Step 7
Now let's assemble our tart. First, spread the cooled apple compote (leaving the excess liquid in the saucepan), then arrange the apple wedges beautifully in a circle on top. Drizzle with the remaining liquid from the apple compote, then brush the top with melted butter. Mix 60 g of brown sugar with cinnamon and the seeds from the vanilla bean, which should be scraped off with a knife. Finally, sprinkle the fragrant sugar mixture on top.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for about 40 minutes until golden brown.
