Tarte Aux Pommes A La Minute (Thin Apple Tart) Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1Â 1/2 c. All-purpose Flour
- 6 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, chilled and cut into small pcs
- 3 Tbsp. And 2 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 c. Cool Water
- 3 lrg Tart Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, melted
Directions
- Today's recipe calls for thinly sliced apples, but we've also prepared it with pears and nectarines. This means you'll want to keep this recipe handy and try it with your favorite fresh fruit filling. It's a relatively simple recipe to prepare; and it makes an elegant dessert, that will be served at our birthday bash this weekend.
- But you do not have to wait for a reason to celebrate. Prepare this lovely little tart for dessert tonight and impress your friends, family, or possibly guests with your French pastry skills. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry right now!
- Pre-heat oven to 450-F degrees and assemble your mise-en-place, now.
- (Mise-en-place defined: French cooking method whereby you arrange each ingredient in the portion and sequence you'll require to prepare your recipe.)
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and two Tbsp. sugar together.
- Using either your fingertips, a fork, or possibly a pastry blender, quickly work the chilled butter pcs into the dry ingredients till the mix appears crumbly. Stir in the cool water and mix quickly to create a soft dough. Don't over mix, or possibly your pastry will be tough and chewy. Shape the pastry into a ball and flatten it slightly. Wrap it in plastic and refrigeratefor at least one hour.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it into a circle about 13 inches across and 1/2 inch deep. Press the dough into a 12-inch shallow baking or possibly pizza pan and trim off any excess dough. Pierce the dough with a fork, all over the surface, for even baking.
- Sprinkle the dough with one Tbsp. of sugar and arrange the apple slices neatly, in an overlapping circular pattern on the dough. Start from the outside and work your way to the center. Even if the center is a bit higher than the outside layer of apples, it will flatten a bit during baking. If you have a little space in the center, fill it with some finely minced apple slices. Sprinkle the apples with the remaining two tsp. of sugar.
- Bake the tart for about 20 min, or possibly till the apples are lightly browned from the sugar, and soft. Remove the tart from the oven and increase the oven setting to broil. When warm, place the tart under the heat from the broiler for a couple of min. The rims of the apple slices should be well browned, but watch carefully so they do not burn.
- Remove the tart from the oven and brush the top with melted butter. Cut into pie-shaped wedges and serve hot.
