Rustic Autumn Fruit Tart image

This delightful, warming dessert is quick to make and a pleasure to eat.

Provided by CULINARYJEN

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts     Fruit Tart Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup butter, chilled
½ cup cream cheese
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 pear - peeled, cored and sliced
¼ cup orange juice
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup apricot jam, warmed

Steps:

  • Cut the cold butter and cream cheese into the flour with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles cornmeal; add the cream cheese and pulse until it's the size of small peas.) When you squeeze a handful of the mixture, it should form a ball. Shape the dough into a round disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Toss the sliced apples and pear with the orange juice. Whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and cornstarch. Toss the fruit with the sugar-spice mixture and set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set out an 8-inch tart pan, or, if you'll be making a free-form tart (galette), lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured work surface to form a 10-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the tart pan or baking sheet. Arrange the fruit decoratively in the tart pastry. If you're baking the tart on a baking sheet, leave a 2-inch rim of dough and fold it up over the edge of the fruit (the pastry folds will overlap).
  • Bake the tart in the preheated oven until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and brush it with the apricot jam.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dessert     Thanksgiving     Tart     Apple     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Maple Syrup     Bake     Almond     Brandy     Peanut Free     Holiday 2018

Yield 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup sliced almonds
6 medium sweet-tart apples (such as Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Winesap)
1 lemon, halved
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup brandy, preferably apple
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
2 Tbsp. raw sugar, divided
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 large egg, beaten to blend
Shortcut Puff Pastry
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 275°F. Peel apples; cut in half. Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out cores. Rub cut sides of lemon all over apples, then place apples cut side down in a 13x9" baking dish. Squeeze lemon halves over and add maple syrup, brandy, vanilla, and salt. Cover tightly with foil and bake until juices are bubbling and apples are tender but still intact (poke through foil with a tester or toothpick to check), 60-80 minutes. Uncover and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
  • Meanwhile, toss almonds, 1 Tbsp. raw sugar, and 1 Tbsp. flour in a small bowl; set aside. Let puff pastry sit at room temperature about 4 minutes to soften slightly. Roll out on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent sticking and rotating once or twice, to a 16x12" rectangle. Slide parchment paper with pastry onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Trim around sides to straighten and tidy edges, then cut off a 1" strip from each side (you'll have 4 strips). Brush around edge of rectangle with egg, then place strips on top, aligning with edges. Trim any overhang from corners. Brush rim you just created with egg and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. raw sugar. Scatter reserved almond mixture over pastry, staying inside the rim.
  • Gently arrange apples on top of almond mixture; reserve juices left in dish. Chill tart 15 minutes.
  • Bake tart 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and puffed, 45-55 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, scrape reserved apple juices into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, swirling pan often, until syrupy (you should have 2-4 Tbsp.), 6-8 minutes. Remove glaze from heat.
  • Remove tart from oven and brush glaze over apples. Serve warm or room temperature with scoops of ice cream.
  • Do Ahead
  • Tart can be baked 10 hours ahead. Store loosely wrapped at room temperature. Reheat in a 250°F oven if desired.

Provided by Kim

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Slab Pie Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, cut into pieces and frozen
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup ice water
2 tablespoons ice water, or more if needed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
10 Paula Red apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch slices
2 small lemons, juiced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¾ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Combine flour, butter, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir water and vinegar together in a bowl.
  • Pour 1/2 the water mixture into the flour mixture in the food processor. Pulse to combine. Pour in remaining water mixture and pulse until dough just starts to come together but is still crumbly.
  • Turn dough out onto a wooden surface. Pat into a round shape and cut into 3 equal pieces. Form each into a disc about 5 inches wide, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Toss apples and lemon juice together in a bowl. Sprinkle flour over apples and toss to coat. Gently mix in brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice until apples are thoroughly coated. Fold in raisins and walnuts.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Flour a work surface and roll out 2 of the 3 dough pieces into a rectangle about 12x18 inches in size and about 1/4-inch thick. Gently place crust into a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan and press dough into corners. Trim excess dough so there is only 1 inch of overhang on all sides. Gently fold overhanging dough underneath itself and crimp along all edges of the pan. Use a fork to poke indentations sporadically in the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
  • Pour filling into the crust and spread out evenly.
  • Roll out remaining dough piece on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use decorative cookie cutters to cut out several pieces of pie dough and place cut-outs on top of filling in a pattern.
  • Beat egg and water together in a bowl. Gently brush egg wash over the edges of the pie crust and on the pie crust cut-outs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and apples are soft when gently pierced with a knife, 55 to 65 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the tart from becoming too mushy.
  • Toss the apples with a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to help prevent them from browning.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust to save time. Or, if you're feeling ambitious, you can make your own pie crust from scratch.
  • Be sure to brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
