Tasty Apple Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix. Add in butter and pulse a few times to break the butter down into pebble-size pieces. With the food processor running, drizzle in ice water. The dough should stick together when pressed between your fingers. (If dough doesn't stick together, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.)
• Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap. Dump dough onto the plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Cover tightly with the plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
• Generously spray a 9 or 10 inch (23 or 25 cm) tart pan with nonstick spray. On a floured surface, roll out the pie crust into a circle that is 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) bigger than your tart. Lift crust into the tart pan and press against the sides of the pan. Trim the edges of the dough so that it is level with the top of the pan.
• Filling: Whisk eggs, sugar, McCormick Vanilla Extract, and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside.
• Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Let butter completely melt and foam, stirring occasionally. Keep stirring as the foaming subsides and the butter begins to brown. Once butter browns, quickly transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk browned butter into the egg mixture. Whisk in flour and lemon zest.
• Arrange sliced apples in a spiral pattern on the pie crust. Pour custard over apples, until custard reaches ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) below the top of crust (if using a 9-inch (23 cm) pan, you will have a little custard left over).
• Place in oven and bake for 50 minutes (cover with foil if the top starts browning too much, or until custard is set).
• Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, heat 3/4 cup sugar, stirring constantly until it is liquefied and golden brown. Remove from the heat. , In a small bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon and remaining sugar. Arrange half the apples in a single layer in skillet. Sprinkle with half the sugar mixture. Arrange half the remaining apples in circular pattern over sugar; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Place remaining apples over all, keeping the top as level as possible. Dot with butter. , Roll out dough to 11-in. circle; place over apples, pressing gently to completely cover. Do not flute. Bake at 400° until apples are tender and golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Using a 9-inch (23 cm) flat-sided cake pan as a template, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over to provide ventilation. Set aside.
• Peel and quarter the apples, using a spoon or melon baller to remove the cores.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, distribute the water and sugar evenly and cook until light amber in color, stirring to help melt any lumps, 5-7 minutes. Add the butter, stirring constantly until the color is a creamy light brown. Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in a thick layer of caramel.
• Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning the apples constantly so that they bathe in the caramel. Remove from the heat when the caramel has reduced and little remains in the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to burn the caramel, tasting it from time to time to ensure it does not taste bitter.
• Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the bottom of the cake pan. Press the apples tightly against each other, then pour the remaining caramel over the top.
• Lay the circle of puff pastry on top. Tuck the puff pastry down the sides of the pan.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and firm. Cool for about 1 hour, then invert onto a plate.
• Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and salt. Mix with fork until combined.
• Add in cubed butter and break up into flour with a fork. Mixture will still have lumps about the size of small peas.
• Gradually add the ice water and continue to mix until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all of the water, but if the dough is too dry then add more. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
• Work the dough together with your hands and turn out onto a surface. Work into a ball and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate.
• Peel the apples, then core and slice.
• In a bowl, add the sliced apples, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and juice from the lemon.
• Mix until combined and all apples are coated. Refrigerate.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (200°C).
• On a floured surface, cut the pie dough in half and roll out both halves until round and about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.
• Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll onto a pie dish making sure the dough reaches all edges. Trim extra if necessary.
• Pour in apple filling mixture and pat down.
• Roll the other half of the dough on top.
• Trim the extra dough from the edges and pinch the edges to create a crimp. Make sure edges are sealed together.
• Brush the pie with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sugar.
• Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
• Bake pie for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and no greyish or undercooked pastry remains.
• Allow to cool completely before slicing.
• Top with ice cream and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat. , On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edge loosely with foil. , Bake 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, blend the oats into a coarse powder.
• Add the butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until nutty brown in color, 5-6 minutes. Once the butter has browned, add the ground oats, flour, salt, and water, and mix to combine. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch (20 cm) tart pan, spreading evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Make the filling: Place the apples in a large microwave-safe bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over, then toss to coat. Microwave for 4 minutes. Cover with a plate and let steam for 5 minutes.
• Season the apples with the cinnamon and nutmeg, and toss to coat.
• Spread the applesauce over the bottom of the crust.
• Starting from the outside and working inward, arrange the apples in the pan in a circular pattern with the curved side up. Begin with the larger slices, overlapping slightly, and continue until the entire crust is filled. Brush the apples with the melted butter.
• Bake for 1 hour, checking occasionally. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover gently with foil to prevent further browning as the tart cooks through.
• If using, microwave the apricot jam for 20-30 seconds to melt. Use a pastry brush to paint the apricot jam over the warm tart for a nice, shiny finish.
• Let the tart cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• For the dough, put the flour, butter, oil, sugar, and salt in a food processor and process for about 10 seconds.
• Add the Tablespoon of ice water and process for another five or six seconds.
• Remove from the bowl and form into a flat dough. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll the ball of dough into a thin layer, around ¼ inch (6 ⅓ mm) thick.
• Using a round cutter, or use a round bowl or lid as a guide and cut out into a nice round circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a large cookie sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat.
• Arrange the apple slices, alternating them nicely on top of the dough. Sprinkle the apple with sugar and put butter cubes on top.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the fruit is soft and the dough nicely browned.
• Some of the juice from the fruit will have leaked out onto the cookie sheet. Before it hardens and makes the disks stick to the sheet, lift the tart with a broad spatula and transfer them to a cooling rack or platter.
• Serve lukewarm or at room temperature with ice cream (optional).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Set the cubed butter on a plate and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Fill a cup with ice and water and set aside. Place 1 1/2 of the flour, 1 8 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Take the butter out of the freezer and add it to the flour. Pulse the mixture until it looks like wet sand, about 10 seconds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together into a ball.
• Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top. Then lightly flour the top of the dough and roll to about a 10- to 11-inch circle, sprinkling more flour under and on top of the dough as necessary. Gently drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9- or 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan (ideally one with a removable bottom). Fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan as evenly as possible and press off excess dough from the fluted rim. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350degreesF. Peel, core, and quarter the apples and then thinly slice them lengthwise. Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the cinnamon, and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 8 teaspoon salt. Remove the baking sheet with the tart shell from the refrigerator. Arrange the apples in concentric circles so they overlap slightly. Brush the edges of the crust with the melted butter and then bake until the edges are golden and the apples have cooked down, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven (175°C).
• In a bowl,mix together the apples,raisins,sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
• And in the other bowl,make the apple tart mix,egg and butter into a dough.then build a bottom and walls by a dough in a springform,make sure that there is enough dough left to build a window on the top of the tart.
• Pour the fillings (apples,raisins,sugar and cinnamon) into the springform.
• Build a window (remaining dough) on the top of the tart.
• Cook in the oven for 60-65 minutes.

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven, then preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Peel the Golden Delicious and Gala apples, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick wedges. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl with the apples and mix until the apples are well coated.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out a pie dough round to a 10-inch (25 cm) circle. Roll the dough around the rolling pin, brushing off any excess flour, then unroll into a 9-inch (24 cm) pie dish, making sure the dough is centered. Fill with the apple mixture. Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust.
• Roll out the remaining pie dough round to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Cut out 6 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and 8 ½-inch (21 cm) strips.
• Lay the longest 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip vertically over the center of the pie, then 2 more 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips on either side. Place 2 ½-inch (6.5 cm) strips between each set of 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips. Fold back the 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and place another 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip horizontally across the pie about ⅓ of the way down. Fold the vertical 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips back down. Continue adding the remaining ½-inch (1.24 cm) and 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips to create a lattice top.
• Roll the excess dough around the edges inward toward the pie, tucking the ends in. Use your index finger on one hand and thumb and index finger on the other hand to crimp the edge. Brush off any excess flour, then brush the egg wash all over the dough. Sprinkle the raw sugar on top.
• Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the raw sugar. Cut four slits in the top of the pie to create a vent.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place the pie dish on top, then return to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
• Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice the apples (keep the apples in a bowl of lemon water as you go to keep them from browning).
• In a large bowl, toss the apples with the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice, and half of the cornstarch. Once the apples are well coated, let sit and macerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Transfer the apples to a colander set over a medium bowl and let drain for about 15 minutes, until all of the liquid is drawn out.
• Transfer the liquid released from the apples to a small pot over low heat.
• In a small bowl, mix the rest of the cornstarch and the water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the apple liquid and quickly stir to incorporate. Bring to a boil, then add the butter and stir until melted. Immediately remove from the heat and pour over the apples, stirring to coat.
• Gently lay 1 rolled-out pie crust in a 10-inch (25-cm) pie dish.
• Lay the apples in the pie crust, making sure they are flat and facing the rounded edges out in order to fit as many apples as possible in the crust. Pour any leftover liquid from the bowl over the apples.
• Top with the other rolled-out pie crust. Trim the excess dough from the edges.
• Press the 2 crusts together to seal, then fold the edges under. Crimp the edges.
• Then brush all over with egg wash and sprinkle the with sanding sugar.
• Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top for steam to escape.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown.
• Let cool for at least an hour
• Slice and serve.
