Apple And Plum Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Toss apple in lemon juice to prevent browning. Stir together butter and vanilla. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin till doubled in size. Cut into 4 squares. Transfer carefully to parchment-lined baking sheet, with room to expand between each sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the center of each square top with apples and plums, alternating, into a spiral. Fold in puff pastry, to form a crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Place on the center rack of the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. In a small sauce pan cook apricot jam and water till smooth and syrupy. Remove tarts from the oven and cool slightly before brushing with apricot syrup. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into a large bowl. Toss 1/2 of the apples and 1/2 of the plums into the flour mixture. Place remaining apples and plums in a second bowl and toss with melted butter.
• Mix together sugar, applesauce, orange juice, oil, eggs, ginger, and vanilla extract in a third bowl. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small, fourth bowl.
• Fold applesauce mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared baking pan and layer with apples and plums. Pour remaining batter on top and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
