Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 1 tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch salt
1 sheet ready rolled pie dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons peach preserves, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Toss the apples, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Roll the pastry, on a lightly floured surface, into a 12-inch round. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Arrange the pastry on the baking sheet. Put the apple mixture in the center of the pastry and spread evenly to the edges, but leaving enough dough to fold over to create a crust on the rim. Brush the crust with melted butter and drizzle the remaining butter over the apples.
  • Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  • While tart is cooking, put the peach preserves into a microwavable bowl and microwave until syrupy, about 20 seconds.
  • Remove the tart from oven and brush with the warmed preserves. Pull the parchment paper off the sheet tray and transfer the tart to a wire rack to cool. Cut as desired and serve.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 recipe Pate Sucree, recipe follows
2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons heavy cream, to brush crust
1 tablespoon sugar, to sprinkle on crust
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into bits
3 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut each apple into 12 segments and put in a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar, sherry and lemon juice and toss to coat well. Add the cinnamon, allspice, ginger and nutmeg and mix well. Set aside to let the flavors blend for 15 minutes.
  • On a well floured surface, roll the dough out to a 15-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and mound the apples in the center, making sure to leave a generous 2-inch border. Dot the apples with the 2 tablespoons of butter and fold the dough border up around the apples. (It won't meet in the center.) Brush the dough with the heavy cream and sprinkle with the sugar. Place in the bottom third of the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, transfer to the top third of the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Put the flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With the processor running add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until a dough just begins to form. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

RUSTIC APPLE TARTS



Rustic Apple Tarts image

I love desserts that are rustic and warm, which is why I love to make these free-form tarts. I replace milk, cream, and water with butter so that once they're baked, they spread out and take on a shape of their own. The unsweetened cream on top, paired with the sweetness of the tart, creates a perfect balance for the palate.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces, 3 sticks
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 vanilla bean
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ¾ stick
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup crème fraîche, or sour cream
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, store-bought is fine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, cold and cubed
1 1/4 cups heavy cream, chilled
1/4 cup crème fraîche, plus 1 tablespoon

Steps:

  • Dough: Combine the flour, sugar, and butter in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until the butter and dry ingredients form a coarse cornmeal consistency, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix on medium speed until the dough is smooth, 2-3 minutes. Dust a flat work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it comes together. Bring the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. (The dough can also be frozen for 2 months; when you're ready to use it, defrost overnight in the refrigerator.)
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Dust a flat work surface with flour, cut the dough into chunks, and pound with a rolling pin on the countertop to soften until it is the texture of Play-Doh. Then knead it to make it pliable. Do not overwork the dough. Lightly dust the rolling pin with flour and roll the dough out to an even ¼-inch thickness. With a 5-inch cookie cutter, cut circles from the dough as close together as possible. Carefully place the circles of dough on a lined baking sheet, flouring each one to prevent sticking, and chill. (You can only re-roll the dough once. Discard the remaining scraps.)
  • Apple filling: Put apples in a large mixing bowl. Make the vanilla brown butter: Split and scrape the vanilla pod and combine both pod and its seeds with the butter in a small saucepan over high heat. Swirl as the butter becomes foamy. Pour the browned butter over the apples and stir to coat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Set aside for 30 minutes to bring out the juices in the apples. Stir in the cornstarch, then the crème fraîche.
  • Streusel topping: Combine flour and sugar in a medium bowl and toss in the butter. Using your fingertips, break up the butter in the flour to make pea-size lumps.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. To assemble the tarts, warm the discs of dough between your fingertips so that they are pliable enough to fold. Spoon 1 tablespoon of applesauce and ¼ cup apple filling into the center of each disc. Pleat the dough to seal, and transfer each tart onto a lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of streusel topping onto each tart. Bake the tarts until golden-brown, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, about 30 minutes. Let them cool while you make the whipped cream.
  • Whipped cream: Pour cream into the chilled bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, and mix on medium until soft peaks form. Add the crème fraîche and beat on medium until mixture is thick and mousse-like. Add more crème fraîche to make it softer and shinier, if you like. Dollop onto the apple tarts, and serve.

APPLE ROSE TART



Apple Rose Tart image

Apple tarts deliver a more concentrated apple flavor than the more common double-crust pies, and you don't have to wait hours for them to cool. Using different apple varieties pays off in both taste and beauty here. A peeled Granny Smith makes a tart center; unpeeled Pink Ladies give the outer petals a delicate blush. A mandolin makes quick work out of thinly (and evenly!) slicing the apples, and a little grated ginger mixed with apricot jam provides a spicy-sweet base that lets the fruit truly blossom.

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 recipe Deep-Dish Pâte Brisée dough
3 tablespoons apricot jam
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 Pink Lady apples (12 ounces), halved, cored, and sliced a scant 1/8 inch thick (about 2 1/2 cups)
6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons apple-cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 Granny Smith apple (6 ounces), peeled, halved, cored, and sliced a scant 1/8 inch thick (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with a rack in bottom position. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8-inch-thick. Trim dough to a 12-inch round; fit into a 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edges to 1 inch, then fold under to double thickness of edge. Stir together jam and ginger; spread over dough in pan. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss together Pink Lady apple slices, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons flour, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Starting from outside, tightly shingle apples over dough in pan in concentric circles, covering two-thirds of dough.
  • In another bowl, toss together Granny Smith apple slices and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon flour, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Shingle apples over dough in pan in center, leaving any excess juice and sugar in bowl. When you get to the very center, roll up a very thin apple slice or two to create center of "rose". Stir a few drops of water into bowl with residual fruit juices and sugar to create a glaze; set aside.
  • Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking until apples are tender and crust is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes more, brushing with glaze from bowl once during cooking and once after removing from oven. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Remove sides of pan and transfer tart to rack; let cool at least 15 minutes more. Serve warm or room temperature. Tart can be stored, covered with parchment-lined foil, at room temperature up to 1 day.

APPLE-MEMBRILLO TART



Apple-Membrillo Tart image

For a tart that's both sweet and, well, tart, use Granny Smith apples. They're the perfect partner for the membrillo (Spanish quince paste) in the filling. Serve with creamy blue cheese, jewel-like green grapes, and crunchy Marcona almonds for the ultimate dessert platter.

Time 2h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
4 ounces membrillo (quince paste), such as Mitica, room temperature
2 small Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, and cut into 1/8-inch slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Marcona almonds, grapes, and blue cheese, such as Bayley Hazen, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle; fit into a tart pan. Trim edges flush with pan. Prick dough lightly with a fork and freeze until firm, 15 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon membrillo; mash remainder with 1 teaspoon water until spreadable. Using an offset spatula, spread evenly over dough in pan. Shingle apples over top. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until pastry is golden and apples are browned and tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium, heat reserved membrillo with 1 tablespoon water and remaining 1 tablespoon butter, stirring often, until smooth.
  • Remove tart from oven; brush apples with glaze. Return to oven; bake until apples just darken in spots and caramelize, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely before slicing. (Tart can be stored, loosely covered, at room temperature up to 1 day.) Serve with almonds, grapes, and cheese.

RUSTIC APPLE TART



Rustic Apple Tart image

The store-bought puff pastry crust makes prep time shorter and still produces a quality tart.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a standard 17.3-ounce package), thawed
Unbleached flour, for work surface
3 Granny Smith apples
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons apple jelly or apricot jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Open pastry sheet and remove paper. Fold sheet back up. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out pastry sheet (still folded) to an 8-by-14-inch rectangle. Trim edges with a pizza cutter or sharp paring knife. Transfer to a baking sheet; place in freezer. Peel, core, and slice apples 1/4 inch thick. Toss in a large bowl with sugar.
  • Brush pastry with egg wash, avoiding edges. Use a sharp paring knife to score a 3/4-inch border around pastry (do not cut all the way through). Place apples inside border, and dot with butter. Bake until pastry is golden and apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • In the microwave or a small saucepan, heat jelly with 1 tablespoon water until melted. Brush apples with glaze. Serve tart warm or at room temperature, cutting into pieces with a serrated knife.
