Alsatian Apple and Cream Tart image

I got this recipe from an old Gourmet Magazine, and since the first time I tried it its always been a hit! It's been my husband's favourite dessert, he said this is the best apple tart he's ever tasted. I did a few little modifications. For extra flavor, I soaked the raisins in rum and to save time, I used store bought pie shell instead. Bon Appetit!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (9 inch) ready-made pie crusts
fresh lemon juice
4 granny smith apples, sliced thinly (or in 8s)

3 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

  • In a bowl stir together the apples, lemon juice, and 2 table spoons of sugar and toss the mixture until the apples are coated well.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the yolks, the cream, 2 1/2 tablespoons of remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla and stir in raisins.
  • Arrange the apples decoratively in the shell, pour the cream mixture over them, and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 table spoons of sugar with the cinnamon over it.
  • Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 375°F oven for 1 hour, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a cake tester, let it cool in the pan on the rack.
