PINK-APPLESAUCE TART



Pink-Applesauce Tart image

Applesauce is hidden beneath paper-thin, petal-like slices of Empire apples. The fluted pastry shell is filled with the rosy sauce that's spiked with Calvados. More Calvados and a glaze of red currant jelly give the tart a beautiful sheen after baking. Martha made this recipe on Martha Bakes episode 406.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Pate Brisee for Pink-Applesauce Tart
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons Calvados
1 1/2 cups Martha's Pink Applesauce
2 small red-skinned apples (about 12 ounces), such as McIntosh or Empire
3 tablespoons red-currant or sour-cherry jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch thickness. Fit into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edge of dough flush with top of pan. Prick bottom of dough with a fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights.
  • Bake until edges are set and golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove paper and beans. Bake until bottom is dry and golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, combine sugar, butter, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon Calvados and simmer 30 seconds. Stir in applesauce.
  • Spread applesauce mixture evenly in cooled tart shell. Core apples, then use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to slice into almost paper-thin rings. Arrange apples over applesauce mixture, overlapping slices in concentric circles from the center out, to completely cover tart. Bake until apples are crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine jelly and remaining 1 tablespoon Calvados in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Brush glaze over apples. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Unmold and serve. Tart can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.

An all butter pie crust recipe for sweet and savory pies. Pâte Brisée recipe.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Baking     Pate Brisee     Pie Crust     Pie Dough

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar (increase to 1 1/2 teaspoons if for a sweet recipe)
8 Tbsp (1 stick, 112 g) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 to 4 Tbsp ice water, very cold

Steps:

  • Remove from refrigerator and let sit for a few minutes: When you are ready to roll out the dough, remove the disk from the refrigerator and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to take enough of a chill off of it so that it becomes easier to roll out. While the dough disk is still wrapped in plastic, warm the edges with your hands. If there are any cracks in the dough, massage them to close them.

PATE BRISEE (PIE DOUGH)



Pate Brisee (Pie Dough) image

Pate brisee is the French version of classic pie or tart pastry. Pressing the dough into a disc rather than shaping it into a ball allows it to chill faster. This will also make the dough easier to roll out, and if you freeze it, it will thaw more quickly.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust 9- to 10-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without being wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disc and wrap in plastic. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.

BASIC FRENCH TART DOUGH/PATE BRISEE (DORIE GREENSPAN)



Basic French Tart Dough/Pate Brisee (Dorie Greenspan) image

This dough is an all-purpose recipe that produces a not-too rich, slightly crisp crust that works for both sweet tarts and savoury recipes, including the delicious Carrot & Leek Mustard Tart (recipe #440319). This is a good dough to use anytime you see a recipe calling for a pate brisee. Be prepared: This dough requires at least 3 hours to chill. Recipe is from Dorie Greenspan's great new cookbook, "Around my French Table". STORAGE TIP: Well wrapped, the dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month. You can also tightly wrap and freeze the fully baked crust for up to 2 months, or freeze the unbaked crust in the pan and bake it directly from the freezer. Just add about 5 minutes or so to the baking time.

Time 45m

Yield 1 tart crust

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (170 g)
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cut into bits (3/4 stick, 86g)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon ice water

Steps:

  • FOOD PROCESSOR METHOD: Put the flour, sugar, and salt in the processor and whir a few times, until the butter is coarsely mixed into the flour. Beat the egg with the ice water and pour it into the bowl in 3 small additions, whirring after each one (Don't overdo it - the dough shouldn't form a ball or ride on the blade) You'll have a moist, malleable dough that will hold together when pinched. Turn the dough out onto a work surface, gather it into a ball (if the dough doesn't come together easily, push it, a few spoonfuls at a time, under the heel of your hand or knead it lightly), and flatten it into a disk.
  • HAND METHOD: Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Drop in the bits of butter and, using your hands or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour until it is evenly distributed. You'll have large and small butter bits, and that's fine - uniformity isn't a virtue here. Beat the egg and water together, drizzle over the dough, and, using your fingertips, mix and knead the dough until it comes together. Turn it out onto a work surface, gather it into a ball (if the dough doesn't come together easily, push it, a few spoonfuls at a time, under the heel of your hand or knead it some more), and flatten it into a disk.
  • Chill at least 3 hours or up to 5 days.
  • When you're ready to bake the tart shell, butter a 9 - 91/2inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (butter it even if it's nonstick).
  • To roll out the dough: Roll out the dough between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap or in a lightly floured rolling cover; or you can roll it out on a lightly floured work surface. If you're working between sheets of paper or plastic wrap, lift it often so that it doesn't roll into the dough, and turn the dough over frequently. If you're just rolling on the counter, make sure to lift and turn the dough and reflour the counter often. The rolled-out dough should be about 1/4 inch thick and at least 12 inches in diameter.
  • Transfer the dough to the tart pan, easing it into the pan without stretching it. (What you stretch now will shrink in the oven later.) If you'd like to reinforce the sides of the crust, you can fold some of the excess dough over, so that you have a double thickness around the sides. Using the back of a table knife, trim the dough even with the top of the pan. Prick the base of the crust in several places with a fork.
  • Chill - freeze - the dough for at least 1 hour before baking.
  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F Press a piece of buttered foil (or use nonstick foil) against the crust's surface. If you'd like, you can fill the covered crust with rice or dried beans (which will be inedible after this but can be used for baking for months to come) to keep the dough flat, but this isn't really necessary if the crust is well chilled. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and put the tart pan on the sheet.
  • TO PARTIALLY BAKE THE CRUST: Bake for 20 minutes, then very carefully remove the foil (with the rice or beans). Return the crust to the oven and bake for another 3 - 5 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and allow the crust to cool before you fill it.
  • TO FULLY BAKE THE CRUST: Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until it is an even golden brown. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and allow the crust to cool before you fill it.
