APPLE MARZIPAN PUFF PASTRY TART

This is a variation on a puff pastry tart recipe: the marzipan adds a sweet extra layer to this dessert. Autumn is the time to try it out when the apples are sweet and crisp. I like using McIntosh apples as they are an excellent baking apple with not too much liquid, but other types like Lobo can be used. This is a super easy recipe for apple pie and makes a spectacular presentation at a dinner party.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 (4 ounce) package marzipan
3 large McIntosh apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ cup brown sugar, or to taste
¼ cup chopped lightly toasted pecans
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Roll puff pastry out into a 14- to 15-inch circle on a floured surface. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place marzipan between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and roll into a circle about 11 inches in diameter. Remove plastic wrap and place marzipan in the center of the puff pastry.
  • Toss apples, cornstarch, butter, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Add brown sugar and toss quickly.
  • Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles onto the marzipan, leaving about 3 inches of pastry free at the edges. Pile the apple filling high up in layers and add all the dry bits remaining in the bowl. Sprinkle with pecans.
  • Fold edges of the puff pastry up around the filling, leaving center open and pinching the edges where it overlaps. Press pastry gently around the filling to squeeze out any excess air in between. Brush a little egg around the top.
  • Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until puff pastry is golden brown and apples are fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes.

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
5 tbsp mincemeat (check it's vegetarian, if needed)
200g ready-to-roll marzipan
icing sugar, for dusting
4 medium Granny Smith apples
25g cold butter, cut into small cubes
25g golden caster sugar
crème fraîche, to serve

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with baking parchment, and unroll the pastry on top. Prick all over with a fork, then spread the mincemeat over the pastry so it's covered in a thin layer, leaving a 1cm border around the edges. Chill for 20 mins.
  • Roll the marzipan out on a work surface dusted with icing sugar to a roughly 30 x 21cm rectangle that's about 2mm thick. Drape it over the rolling pin and lay over the pastry, on top of the mincemeat layer. It should fit neatly in the middle of the pastry, within the border. Chill for another 20 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking sheet inside. Peel and core the apples, but keep them whole. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice the apples crosswise, so you end up with thin apple rings. Arrange the apple rings over the marzipan in an overlapping tight spiral shape that goes from the outside into the centre, or in neat overlapping lines. Dot over the butter and sprinkle with the sugar.
  • Bake for 35-40 mins until the apples are golden and caramelised, and the pastry is cooked through. Serve in small slices with crème fraîche. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to three days.

Tips:

  • Thaw puff pastry properly: Before you start working with puff pastry, make sure it's fully thawed. This will help prevent it from cracking or tearing.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the puff pastry, use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.
  • Chill the puff pastry before baking: This will help the pastry rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too puffy.
  • Don't overfill the tart: If you overfill the tart, the filling will spill over and the pastry will become soggy.
  • Bake the tart until the pastry is golden brown: This will ensure that the pastry is cooked through and the filling is set.

Conclusion:

Apple marzipan puff pastry tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky puff pastry crust, sweet and tangy apple filling, and rich marzipan topping, this tart is sure to be a hit.
