HONEY APPLE AND NECTARINE TART WITH WHIPPED MASCARPONE
Steps:
- Line 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 4 even squares. Separate the squares and leave some room between them on the baking sheet. Create a border around the inside of each square by scoring about 1/2-inch around the inside the square. Prick the dough inside the small square. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- On each pastry square, overlap slices of apple and nectarine, within the border.
- Brush fruit on each tart, with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Bake tarts until pastry is golden and apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Drizzle each tart with 1 teaspoon honey. Transfer tarts to racks; cool 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- While tarts are cooling, whisk mascarpone with orange liqueur. Top each cooled tart with a dollop of flavored mascarpone.
Tips:
- Use a combination of apples and nectarines for a balanced flavor. Choose a variety of apples that offer different textures and flavors, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. For nectarines, choose ripe and juicy fruit.
- Peel and slice the fruit thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the pie.
- Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar for a rich and complex flavor. Brown sugar adds a touch of caramel and molasses notes to the filling.
- Add a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling for a warm and inviting flavor. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, cloves, or allspice, to taste.
- Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own from scratch. If using a pre-made crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash before baking. This will help the crust brown and give it a glossy finish.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15-20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help the crust cook through without burning.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Apple and nectarine pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of sweet and tart flavors, and its flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
