Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 cups flour, more for rolling
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk plus 3 large eggs
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place flour, sugar and salt in food processor. Pulse to blend. Dice 8 tablespoons butter, place in food processor and give it about 20 quick pulses, until butter is in tiny lumps. Beat egg yolk with 4 tablespoons ice water. Open cover of machine and sprinkle in egg mixture. Pulse briefly. Ingredients should start to clump together to form a dough; do not allow a ball of dough to form. If dough is too dry to hold together, add another teaspoon or two of water and pulse again.
  • Transfer dough mixture to lightly floured work surface and gather together to form into a flat, smooth disk. Roll to a circle about 13 inches in diameter and fit into a 10-inch fluted tart pan. Line with foil, weight with pastry weights and bake 10 minutes, until dry-looking. Remove foil and weights, prick bottom of pastry in a few places and bake until golden, about 20 minutes more. Remove from oven.
  • While pastry is baking melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet. Add apples and sauté over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Stir in brown sugar, then add pecans. Sauté another minute. Remove from heat and spread in baked pastry. Beat eggs, stir in syrup and vanilla and pour over apples and pecans.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until set and browned on top, about 25 minutes more.

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients:
For the Tart Crust:
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for flouring work surface and rolling pin
1-1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons ice water
For the Bourbon Caramel Sauce:
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon sea salt
For the Apple & Pecan Tart:
1 egg
6 ounces toasted pecan halves (about 1-1/2 cups), plus additional for garnish (if desired)
4 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, divided
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the Tart Crust: In bowl of food processor fitted with knife blade attachment, pulse flour, sugar and salt until combined. Add butter; process 10 to 15 seconds or until mixture resembles a coarse meal (all chunks of butter should be smaller than pea-sized). Add egg yolk; pulse until just combined. With processor running, pour ice water through feed tube in slow, steady stream and process until dough just holds together (no longer than 15 seconds). Transfer dough to work surface. Shape into disk; wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Dough can also be frozen up to 1 month (thaw in refrigerator overnight before using). Make the Bourbon Caramel Sauce: In medium saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat. Cook, watching very closely, 15 minutes or until mixture turns deep amber color (swirl pan occasionally, but do not stir). Remove pan from heat and slowly stir in cream. Stir in bourbon and salt. Transfer to heat-safe container and refrigerate up to 1 week (mixture will thicken as it cools). Bring to room temperature before serving. Make the Apple & Pecan Tart: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In clean food processor fitted with knife blade attachment, process egg, pecans, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth. Lightly flour work surface and rolling pin; roll dough into 13-inch round. Transfer to 9½-inch round tart pan; pat down and cut off excess dough. Spread Maple-Pecan Butter evenly over bottom of crust; arrange apples over Maple-Pecan Butter. Sprinkle apples with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Transfer to oven and bake 1 hour or until apples are golden brown and tender. Transfer to wire rack; cool 20 minutes before serving. To serve, garnish tart with additional pecans, if desired. Slice and serve tart with Bourbon Caramel Sauce.

Ingredients

There are a few basic ingredients that go into making an apple pecan tart. The first is the tart crust, which is made from flour, butter, sugar, and salt. The filling consists of apples, pecans, sugar, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Some recipes may also add honey, vanilla, and lemon juice for added flavor.
The Tart Crust
The tart crust is the base of the apple pecan tart. It provides the foundation for the filling and adds a rich, buttery flavor to the dessert. To make the perfect tart crust, you’ll need:
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water
The Filling
The filling is the heart of the apple pecan tart. It consists of fresh apples and crunchy pecans, combined with sugar and spices. Here’s what you’ll need to make a perfect apple pecan filling:
  • 4 cups of thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith apples are ideal)
  • 1 cup of chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

Method

To make an apple pecan tart, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps. These are:
Making the Tart Crust

  2. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse sand.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and ice-cold water.
  4. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until it forms a dough.
  5. Scoop the dough onto a floured surface and knead it until it forms a ball.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
Making the Apple Pecan Filling
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, chopped pecans, sugar, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  3. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Assembling the Tart
  1. Roll out the chilled tart crust on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  2. Place the rolled-out pastry into a tart pan and press it gently into the pan, trimming off any excess.
  3. Add the apple pecan filling into the tart shell, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
  4. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  5. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Variations

While the classic apple pecan tart recipe is delightful on its own, there are several different variations that can add a unique twist to this delicious dessert. Some popular variations include:
Adding Caramel Sauce
To add an extra pop of flavor to your apple pecan tart, you can drizzle some homemade or store-bought caramel sauce over the top of the tart before serving.
Adding Streusel Topping
For a crunchy texture, add a streusel topping made from rolled oats, flour, sugar, and melted butter. Spread the streusel mixture over the top of the apple pecan filling before baking.

Apple pecan tart is a dessert that combines the deliciousness of apples and the richness of pecans. It is a perfect treat to satisfy your craving for something sweet and nutty. If you plan to make an apple pecan tart recipe, there are valuable tips you should keep in mind to ensure you get the best result. In this article, we discuss some of these tips.

Tips for Making Apple Pecan Tart:

Choose the Best Apples:
The success of your apple pecan tart recipe depends on the choice of apples you use. There are different types of apples available in the market, and each has its unique characteristics. When making the tart, you should choose apples that are firm and flavorful. Granny Smith apples are an excellent choice because they have a tart flavor that contrasts well with the sweetness of the pecans.
Roast the Pecans:
Roasting the pecans before using them in the recipe is a great way to enhance their flavor. Roasting brings out the natural oils in the nuts, which intensify their nutty taste. To roast the pecans, preheat your oven to 350°F and spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them for about 10-12 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Allow the pecans to cool before adding them to the tart.
Use a Good Quality Pie Crust:
The crust is an essential part of any tart, and a good quality pie crust will make a big difference in the end result. You can either make your own pie crust from scratch or use a store-bought one. For homemade crusts, use cold butter and ice-cold water to achieve a flaky and crispy crust. If you opt for a store-bought crust, choose one that is made with quality ingredients and has no preservatives.
Add Spices:
The addition of spices to the apple pecan tart recipe will add more depth to the flavor of the tart. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are excellent choices that complement the apples and pecans. Sprinkle the spices over the apple and pecan filling before covering it with the top crust. You can also add a little bit of spice to the pie crust for an added kick.
Align the Apples Uniformly:
When arranging the apples in the tart, make sure they are evenly distributed. This will ensure that the apples cook evenly and prevent the tart from having any open spots or gaps. You can use a mandolin to slice the apples thinly and uniformly. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern, with each slice slightly overlapping the previous one.
Brush the Crust with Egg Wash:
Brushing the top crust with an egg wash will give it a golden and shiny appearance. You can use a beaten egg or egg yolk mixed with a little bit of water to make the egg wash. Before baking the tart, brush the top crust with the egg wash, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Monitor the Baking Process:
The baking time for your apple pecan tart will depend on your oven, the size of your tart, and the thickness of the crust. Keep a close eye on the tart while it's baking to prevent it from overcooking or burning. Once you insert a toothpick in the center of the tart, it should come out clean, and the crust should have a golden brown color. If the tart needs more time, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the crust from getting too dark.

Conclusion:

Making an apple pecan tart can be a fun and easy experience, especially when you have effective tips on how to do it right. With the tips outlined in this article, you can make a perfect apple pecan tart that will satisfy your sweet cravings and impress your friends and family. Remember to choose the best apples, roast the pecans, use a good quality pie crust, add spices, align the apples uniformly, brush the crust with egg wash, and monitor the baking process. Happy baking!
