Best Apple And Red Onion Caraway Tart Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION TARTS WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400º F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the apples, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook until just tender, 2 minutes.
• Place each sheet of pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Spread with the crème fraîche, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with the onion mixture and bake until the pastry is crisp and browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cut into pieces before serving.

• Arrange the apple slices on the pastry rectangles in a straight line, overlapping as you go. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from the pan immediately and place on a serving platter. Serve with caramel sauce and chopped pecans.

APPLE AND CARAWAY TARTLETS WITH CINNAMON-CLOVE ICE CREAM AND CIDER-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Blend flour, sugar, caraway and salt in processor. Add butter and process, using on/off turns, until butter is cut into pea-size pieces. Add 5 teaspoons ice water. Blend until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Cut into 6 equal pieces. Press each piece of dough into 4 1/2-inch-diameter tartlet pan with 3/4-inch-high sides and removable bottom. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover each crust; chill.)
• For filling:
• Place 3/4 cup Cider-Caramel Sauce in heavy large skillet. Add apples and cinnamon. Cook over high heat until apples are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Cool filling completely.
• Place rack at lowest position in oven; preheat to 375°F Divide filling among crusts, overlapping apples, if desired. Place tartlets on oven rack; bake until apples are tender and crust is brown at edges, about 40 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool 30 minutes. Push up pan bottoms, releasing tartlets. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Rewarm remaining sauce in small saucepan. Place tartlets on plates. Top with ice cream and some warm sauce. Garnish with grapes and mint, if desired.

APPLE AND RED ONION CARAWAY TART

Steps:

• Place flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds in a food processor. Add butter pieces; process for about 10 seconds, until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• With machine running, add ice water slowly through feed tube. When dough holds together but is not sticky, stop adding water; do not process for more than 30 seconds.
• Divide dough in half; turn out onto plastic wrap. Press dough into flat rectangles. Wrap in plastic, and chill for at least an hour.
• Spray two rectangular tart pans (13 by 4 inches) with vegetable-oil cooking spray; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. On a floured board, roll pastry to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Transfer a piece of pastry to each pan, pressing it into edges; trim pastry about 3/8 inch higher than edge of pan. Prick bottom of tart. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Take chilled pastry from refrigerator, and remove plastic wrap. Line with parchment paper, and weight with dried beans. Bake for about 20 minutes; when pastry just colors around edges, remove paper and weights; continue to bake just until pastry is light golden, about 10 more minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• To make filling, peel and core apples. Cut into quarters; then cut each quarter into four slices. Peel onions, and halve lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/4-inch slices. Melt sugar and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet. Add apples; cook over medium-low heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; raise heat to medium high, and cook for 2 more minutes, until the apples are golden. Transfer apples and all the pan juices to a bowl. In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add onions and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are just brown. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 2 minutes more. Return apples to pan; over low heat, toss to combine.
• Sprinkle cheese along bottom of tart shells. Divide warm apple-onion mixture between them. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds over tarts, and serve.
