APPLE MARZIPAN PUFF PASTRY TART



Apple Marzipan Puff Pastry Tart image

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 1h10m

Yield 1 8-inch tart, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb granny smith apple
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 lb puff pastry
3 tablespoons marmalade
1/4 cup milk (for brushing)

Steps:

  • Peel, core & slice the apples & place them in a saucepan with the sugar & water, then cook them over medium-low heat until reduced to a pulp.
  • Mix in the cinnamon & zest & add more sugar if necessary.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roll out the pastry thinly & use half of it to line a deep 8-inch pie plate.
  • Spoon in the apple mixture, then gently warm the marmalade to soften it before spreading it carefully over the apple filling.
  • Use the remaining pastry to make a top for the pie, & dampen the edges slightly before sealing them together completely & fluting them.
  • Roll out the trimmings from the puff pastry & make pastry leaves or other decorative items for the top of the tart.
  • Brush the top with milk & bake in the hot oven for 10 minutes, before reducing the oven's temperature to 375 degrees F, & bake the tart another 20-25 minutes, or until well risen & golden brown.
  • Serve warm with cream.

Tips:

  • For a perfect crust, use high-quality butter that is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help create a flaky, tender crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Be gentle when mixing the ingredients and stop as soon as the dough comes together.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough hold its shape when baking.
  • When rolling out the dough, do it on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples. This will help prevent them from browning.
  • Brush the apples with lemon juice. This will help prevent them from oxidizing and turning brown.
  • Sprinkle the apples with sugar. This will help them caramelize when baking.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. The baking time will vary depending on the type of apples you use.

Conclusion:

Apple puff pastry tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky, tender crust and sweet, caramelized apples, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this apple puff pastry tart a try.
