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.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover apples and quince paste. It's also a great dessert to make for a crowd.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tart didn't turn out as well as the picture. The apples were too soft and the crust was too hard.

The crust on this tart was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it better if it had been more buttery.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of quince paste, but I thought this tart was still pretty good. The apples were perfectly cooked and the crust was flaky.

I love the unique flavor of this tart. The quince paste adds a nice tartness that complements the sweetness of the apples. The crust is also very good.

This apple membrillo tart was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet apples and tangy quince paste was divine. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the tart was perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.
