Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

For filling
12 ounces dried apples (preferably Granny Smith)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 cups water
2 cups apple cider
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
four 3-inch cinnamon sticks
For topping
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
For pastry dough
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Accompaniment: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • In a heavy 5-quart kettle simmer filling ingredients with a pinch salt, covered, until apples are fully plumped, about 15 minutes. Uncover mixture and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and any excess liquid is evaporated or absorbed, about 1 hour. (Reduce heat as liquid is evaporated or absorbed and stir mixture frequently toward end of cooking to prevent scorching.) Discard cinnamon sticks. Filling may be made 2 days ahead and cooled before being chilled, covered.
  • Make topping:
  • Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces. In a food processor pulse butter, flour, and granulated sugar until crumbly. Transfer topping to a bowl and chill, covered, until ready to use.
  • Make pastry dough when filling and topping are done:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cut butter into 1/2-inch pieces. In cleaned food processor pulse together pastry dough ingredients and a pinch salt until mixture begins to gather together.
  • Press dough evenly onto bottom and up side of an 11-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Line shell with foil and bake in middle of oven until shell is set, about 12 minutes. Gently remove foil (if foil sticks to shell, leave foil on and bake about 2 minutes more) and bake shell until edge is golden, about 5 minutes (tart shell will not be completely cooked).
  • Immediately spoon filling into shell and crumble topping evenly over filling. Bake tart in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until topping is golden. Cool tart in pan on a rack. Tart may be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered and chilled, in pan. Reheat tart, uncovered, if desired or bring to room temperature before serving. Remove side of pan.
  • Serve tart with whipped cream or ice cream.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 11h45m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 pounds apples (see cook's note), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (8 cups)
3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground cloves
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisée (1 disk)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats

Steps:

  • For the Filling: In a large heatproof bowl, toss together apples, granulated sugar (use 1 cup if your apples are very tart), salt, vinegar, and spices. Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for at least 3 hours, or refrigerate (covered) up to 24 hours.
  • Stir flour into macerated apple mixture, then set a colander over another bowl and drain, reserving liquid. Transfer liquid to a small saucepan; return apples to bowl. Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened to the consistency of loose pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir back into apple mixture.
  • For the Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F, with a rack in bottom third. On a lightly floured surface, roll out disk of dough 1/8 inch thick (about 13 inches in diameter). Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim overhang to 1 inch, fold edges under, and crimp as desired. Brush edges of crust with egg and fill with apple mixture; refrigerate for 15 minutes (to help crust hold its shape in the oven).
  • For the Topping: In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and oats and beat to combine.
  • Crumble topping over filling and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and bake until golden brown all over and bubbling in center, 50 to 60 minutes more. (If the top browns too quickly, tent it with foil.) Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, at least 6 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly so they cook evenly.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the apples for extra flavor.
  • Use old-fashioned oats for a more rustic crumble topping.
  • Press the crumble topping firmly onto the apples so it doesn't fall off during baking.
  • Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
  • Serve the tarts warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple crumble tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a flaky crust, sweet apples, and a crunchy crumble topping, these tarts are sure to be a hit at your next potluck or party.
