FRENCH-STYLE APPLE TART (TARTE TATIN) RECIPE BY TASTY



French-Style Apple Tart (Tarte Tatin) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: puff pastry, apple, water, sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla ice cream

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1.5 kg apple, preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
3 tablespoons water
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a 9-inch (23 cm) flat-sided cake pan as a template, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over to provide ventilation. Set aside.
  • Peel and quarter the apples, using a spoon or melon baller to remove the cores.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, distribute the water and sugar evenly and cook until light amber in color, stirring to help melt any lumps, 5-7 minutes. Add the butter, stirring constantly until the color is a creamy light brown. Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in a thick layer of caramel.
  • Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning the apples constantly so that they bathe in the caramel. Remove from the heat when the caramel has reduced and little remains in the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to burn the caramel, tasting it from time to time to ensure it does not taste bitter.
  • Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the bottom of the cake pan. Press the apples tightly against each other, then pour the remaining caramel over the top.
  • Lay the circle of puff pastry on top. Tuck the puff pastry down the sides of the pan.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and firm. Cool for about 1 hour, then invert onto a plate.
  • Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • Enjoy!

BROWN BUTTER APPLE TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Brown Butter Apple Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: flour, sugar, kosher salt, cold butter, water, eggs, sugar, McCormick® vanilla extract, kosher salt, butter, flour, lemon zest, green apples

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
¼ cup water, ice
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
16 tablespoons butter
½ cup flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3 green apples, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix. Add in butter and pulse a few times to break the butter down into pebble-size pieces. With the food processor running, drizzle in ice water. The dough should stick together when pressed between your fingers. (If dough doesn't stick together, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.)
  • Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap. Dump dough onto the plastic wrap and shape into a disc. Cover tightly with the plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
  • Generously spray a 9 or 10 inch (23 or 25 cm) tart pan with nonstick spray. On a floured surface, roll out the pie crust into a circle that is 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) bigger than your tart. Lift crust into the tart pan and press against the sides of the pan. Trim the edges of the dough so that it is level with the top of the pan.
  • Filling: Whisk eggs, sugar, McCormick Vanilla Extract, and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside.
  • Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Let butter completely melt and foam, stirring occasionally. Keep stirring as the foaming subsides and the butter begins to brown. Once butter browns, quickly transfer to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Whisk browned butter into the egg mixture. Whisk in flour and lemon zest.
  • Arrange sliced apples in a spiral pattern on the pie crust. Pour custard over apples, until custard reaches ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) below the top of crust (if using a 9-inch (23 cm) pan, you will have a little custard left over).
  • Place in oven and bake for 50 minutes (cover with foil if the top starts browning too much, or until custard is set).
  • Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

LOW-SUGAR APPLE TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Low-Sugar Apple Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: rolled oats, unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, water, honeycrisp apple, lemon, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, unsweetened applesauce, unsalted butter, apricot jam

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup rolled oats
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 stick
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons water
2 ½ lb honeycrisp apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (4 apples)
½ lemon, juiced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon apricot jam, optional

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, blend the oats into a coarse powder.
  • Add the butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until nutty brown in color, 5-6 minutes. Once the butter has browned, add the ground oats, flour, salt, and water, and mix to combine. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch (20 cm) tart pan, spreading evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Make the filling: Place the apples in a large microwave-safe bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over, then toss to coat. Microwave for 4 minutes. Cover with a plate and let steam for 5 minutes.
  • Season the apples with the cinnamon and nutmeg, and toss to coat.
  • Spread the applesauce over the bottom of the crust.
  • Starting from the outside and working inward, arrange the apples in the pan in a circular pattern with the curved side up. Begin with the larger slices, overlapping slightly, and continue until the entire crust is filled. Brush the apples with the melted butter.
  • Bake for 1 hour, checking occasionally. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover gently with foil to prevent further browning as the tart cooks through.
  • If using, microwave the apricot jam for 20-30 seconds to melt. Use a pastry brush to paint the apricot jam over the warm tart for a nice, shiny finish.
  • Let the tart cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!
