Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Apple filling:
2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup hard apple cider or dry white wine
Crust:
8 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless Italian or French bread (finely ground in processor)
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted , husked
10 tablespoons sugar, divided
4 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon (generous) salt
3/4 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Whipped cream
Special Equipment
9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom

Steps:

  • For apple filling:
  • Arrange apples in even layer in heavy large skillet. Sprinkle with sugar, then pour apple cider over. Cover and cook over medium heat until apples are tender, gently turning apples occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover; cook until juices evaporate, frequently but carefully turning apples to keep wedges intact, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Let apples cool completely in skillet. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to bowl. Cover; chill.
  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread breadcrumbs on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until dried and light golden, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Cool.
  • Finely grind hazelnuts and 6 tablespoons sugar in processor. Add 3 cups breadcrumbs; process 5 seconds. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Stir in 4 tablespoons sugar, lemon peel, and salt. Combine milk and butter in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat just until butter melts. Pour milk-butter mixture over breadcrumb mixture; stir until moistened (dough will be sticky). Let dough rest in bowl until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer 1 cup dough to floured work surface. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Press out to 9-inch round; wrap in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour for top crust. Transfer remaining dough to work surface. Gather into ball; flatten into disk. Press disk onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, pushing crust up to extend 1/2 inch above sides. Cover; chill at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Fill crust with apple mixture. Place top crust over filling. Fold bottom crust overhang up over top crust edges, pressing together to seal.
  • Bake torte until crust is deep golden and crust begins to separate from sides of pan (top crust may crack), about 1 hour. Cool in pan on rack at least 2 hours. Carefully remove sides from tart pan. Transfer to platter. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges. Serve with whipped cream.

APPLE & HAZELNUT CRUMBLE



Apple & Hazelnut Crumble image

I tweaked the Magnolia Bakery's recipe for Apple Tart with Hazelnut Brown Sugar topping, to come up with this simple and quick crumble. It is absolutely delicious. I received so many complements that I'm thinking of making it my signature dessert! =) Notes: I use either a 9 or 10 inch round pie dish for this recipe, but you can also use individual ramekins - just remember to shorten the baking time as ramekins are smaller and won't take as long to cook in the oven. Also note that measuring cups are required for this recipe!

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 nine or ten inch round crumble, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 -6 small tart green apples, cored, peeled & thinly sliced (ie. equals approx 4 cups of thinly sliced apples)
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 tablespoon plain white flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plain white flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar (I prefer dark brown sugar but light is fine too)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts (I put them in a freezer bag and smash them with a rolling pin)

Steps:

  • Pre heat your oven to 320 degrees fahrenheit or 160 degrees celsius.
  • First, make the filling by placing all the ingredients in a large bowl and tossing gently with your fingers until the apple slices are evenly coated. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Now make the topping by mixing the flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add in the butter and rub in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Next, add the hazelnuts to the topping mixture and, using your hands, toss until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
  • Very lightly grease the pie dish with butter. (I like to use a nice glass baking dish). Transfer the apple mixture evenly into the dish. Using your fingers, sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the apples.
  • Place the dish on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes, until the top is lightly golden. When ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about an hour.

Tips to make a perfect Apple Torte with Bread Crumb and Hazelnut Crust

Choose the right apples
One of the essential aspects of making a perfect apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust is the kind of apples you choose. For this recipe, it is better to opt for tart apples such as Granny Smith apples. These apples not only hold their shape well but also complement the sweet taste of the torte.
Prepare the crust perfectly
The crust is an integral part of an apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust recipe. To prepare the crust, you need bread crumbs and hazelnuts. To make the perfect crust, it is vital to grind the hazelnuts and bread crumbs evenly. Make sure to avoid overworking the mixture as it can create a tough crust. To ensure the crust doesn't crumble, you can add egg whites while preparing the crust. This will help the crust hold together, even when you cut slices for serving.
Blind bake the crust
Blind baking the crust before filling it with the apple mixture is another crucial step for making an apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust. Blind baking is the process of baking the crust before adding the filling. This helps to set the crust, preventing it from getting soggy when you add the apple filling. However, it is essential to note, to prevent the crust from puffing up in the oven, you can prick the bottom of the crust using a fork before blind baking.
Slice apples evenly
To keep a uniform texture and consistency, it is essential to slice the apples evenly. When slicing the apples, make sure to peel and core them before cutting them into thin even slices. The consistency of the apple slices is vital as it affects the cooking time, even-textured slices of apples cook evenly in the oven, ensuring the apple torte cooks well.
Mix the apples with sugar, spices and lemon juice
Mixing the apple slices with sugar, spices, and lemon juice enhances the overall flavor of the apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust. The sugar caramelizes, creating a sweetness that complements the tartness of the apples. Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, or ginger adds a depth of flavor to the filling. Lastly, lemon ensures the apple filling does not turn brown, giving the filling a fresh taste and keeping it visually appealing.
Arrange the apples and filling
After mixing the apples, sugar, spices, and lemon, arrange the slices of apple filling evenly onto the blind-baked bread crumb and hazelnut crust. Make sure the filling is neither too high nor too low, as the torte needs to cook thoroughly. Once you've arranged the filling, sprinkle some bread crumbs on top. This helps the apples absorb the excess moisture, thereby ensuring the torte cooks evenly.
Brush the top of the torte with egg
Brushing the top of the torte with egg before baking can enhance the color and texture of the torte, providing a golden brown crust. You can use a pastry brush or your fingertips to spread the egg mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake the torte correctly
Baking the torte correctly is crucial to achieve the perfect apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust. Bake the torte in the middle rack of the oven at 375-degree Fahrenheit for about 50-55 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown. You can also check the torte by inserting a toothpick into the center of the torte to check if it's cooked through.
Cool and slice the torte
Once the torte is baked to perfection, allow it to cool before slicing it into portions. The torte needs to be chilled before slicing it to ensure it holds its shape. You can refrigerate it for at least one hour or overnight before serving for the best result. When serving, this apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust is a great topping to whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion

Creating an apple torte with bread crumb and hazelnut crust can be a fun and delicious experience.
