Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pie Dough for Caramelized Apple Tart, or 1 unbaked store-bought refrigerated pie crust (7 1/2 ounces)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
6 (about 2 3/4 pounds) Rome Beauty or McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a floured work surface, roll out pie dough to a 1/8-inch thickness (or unfold store-bought dough). Invert a 9-inch plate on top of dough; trim dough around plate with a sharp paring knife to form a round (discard scraps, or save for another use). Refrigerate until needed.

Arrange apple wedges in a circle around edge, then fill in the center with remaining wedges. Place skillet over medium heat, and cook until sugar mixture is light amber in color and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes (syrup might brown unevenly).
  • Transfer to oven; cook until apples have softened, about 30 minutes. Carefully place dough round on top; bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Let cool, about 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of skillet; invert tart onto a serving platter. Replace any apples that may have stuck to bottom of skillet; drizzle with any remaining pan juices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Don't be intimidated by the kataifi (shredded phyllo); it's easy to find and comes in a big bunch that you simply need to pull apart before baking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h25m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ounces frozen kataifi (shredded phyllo), thawed (1 cup packed)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 baking apples, such as Pink Lady, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
Salt
1/2 cup semolina flour

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Arrange a 1/2-inch-thick layer of kataifi into the bottom and up and over the sides of a 9-inch pie plate (it will shrink during baking); brush all over with melted butter. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the caramelized apples: Melt butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple wedges and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Transfer apples to a medium bowl.
  • Make the caramel: Add sugar to skillet. Cook over high heat until sugar dissolves and turns medium amber. Remove skillet from heat. Slowly and carefully stir in cream (it will bubble and steam as you add it).
  • Cover bottom of crust with 3/4 cup caramelized apples. Drizzle apples with 2 tablespoons caramel.

CARAMEL APPLE TART



Caramel Apple Tart image

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9-ounce) box pie crust mix
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored
Lemon juice, as needed
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, plus 1/2 teaspoon
1 pinch of salt
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the pie crust according to package instructions. Roll the dough out between 2 pieces of waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Invert a heavy bottom 10-inch nonstick skillet over the dough, trace the outside edge of the pan and trim the excess. Put the pie dough on a sheet tray, cover it in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Slice each apple in 2 and place the halves in a bowl of water with a bit of lemon juice to keep them from browning. In a small bowl, combine the sugar with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and the salt.
  • Put the same skillet used to measure out the pie crust, over medium-high heat, and add the butter. Sprinkle 3/4 of the sugar mixture over the melted butter. Arrange the apple halves flat side down in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the apples. Cook until the caramel syrup turns a deep golden brown color, about 15 minutes. Carefully arrange the chilled pie crust over the top of the cooked apples and use a spatula to tuck in the edges.
  • Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the crust is cooked and is slightly brown in color, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it stand for around 5 minutes, then invert the pie onto a serving platter.
  • In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, whip the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice until soft peaks form. Serve the warm tart on individual plates with a dollop of whipped cream.
