Substances

This French Apple Tart recipe truly got here to be as a result of we had a single sheet of puff pastry left after sharing the B85 Beef Sausage Rolls, and a few unhappy wanting apples within the fruit bowl. And that, my mates, is just about all you want!

• Apple – We used Gala for its candy/tartness and steadiness, however you should utilize your favorite consuming apple.

  You needn’t fear in regards to the cooking qualities of various varieties such as you do for different apple recipes because the tart isn’t within the oven lengthy sufficient for this to matter (eg. some apples soften too rapidly which isn’t preferrred for some dishes). We’ve made this with a wide range of apples – Granny Smith (tart), Pink girl (crisp tart candy), Fuji (further candy) – all of them work wonderful, it simply comes right down to what apple you’ve obtained or what you want!

• Puff pastry – I do know, I used to be shocked, retailer purchased puff is suitable to the French! 😂 Properly, no less than, French dwelling cooks. Nonetheless, I do assume France would cry if I didn’t no less than (strongly!) advocate that you just use puff pastry made with butter because it tastes higher than puff that’s made with flavourless oil. The packet will say “butter” on it.

  Measurement – This recipe requires a 25cm / 10″ sq. of puff pastry which is the usual measurement right here in Australia. If yours is bigger, trim it, or if in case you have smaller offcuts, press them collectively to make one bigger one or make a number of smaller ones.

• Sugar – For the underside of the puff pastry, which makes it further crisp, in addition to sprinkling on the apple and crust. You solely want 5 teaspoons!

• Butter – Simply 1 tablespoon of melted butter, to brush throughout the floor of the apple and fringe of the crust.

Cinnamon possibility – Cinnamon and apple is a basic pairing, so I wouldn’t discourage you from including it! Simply combine it with the sugar then sprinkle – I’ve included portions within the recipe notes.

Learn how to make this simple French Apple Tart

1. Preheat the tray till scorching. This undoubtedly helps make the underside a bit of bit crisper which is gorgeous!

2. Apple slices – Peel the apple if you need (non-compulsory). Then lower into 0.5cm / 0.2″ slices.

   How I do it – Potato peeler for pores and skin, lower in half, scoop out center with a melon baller, then lower a bit of “V” out of the highest and backside. Lay it lower face down and slice. Preserve the slices collectively as you narrow somewhat than scattering them in all places – makes it simple to fan out onto the pastry.

3. Sugar underside – Sprinkle 3 teaspoons of sugar on a sheet of baking paper (parchment paper). Then place the barely-thawed puff pastry sheet on it – the sugar will stick.

   The sugar makes the underside further crispy in addition to caramelising.

4. Edges – Fold within the edges to type the rim of the tart. No want to make use of egg or something to carry in place.

5. Prime with apple – Lay the apple slices throughout the floor in three rows, overlapping them barely.

   Properly truly, that’s how I do it, however be at liberty to unleash the inventive demon inside – prepare as you want! Although, keep away from layering them thicker than you see within the images else the apple slices could not soften sufficient earlier than the sides of the pastry change into golden.

6. Bake – Place the tart on the new tray, conserving it on the paper. Bake half-hour.

7. Baked! The tart is prepared when the sides are deep golden and the apple slices are flippantly browned on the sides.

8. Serve with a dusting of icing sugar (non-compulsory) and ice cream (not non-compulsory!). Cream can be good, however I undoubtedly desire ice cream.

Make this for afternoon tea or a comfortable dessert for dinner. I can see you serving this up after a wealthy Beef Bourguignon, for French Rooster Fricassee, a gradual cooked Shredded Beef Ragu or a Herb & Garlic Butter Roast Rooster.

To be trustworthy, I can’t consider a lot I wouldn’t serve this with! Properly, maybe not if I used to be doing an Asian themed menu. However something western, European, even Center Jap, Moroccan, South American, I completely would. You may also add a contact of flavours from cuisines of the world to go well with themed menus – for instance:

• sprinkle of chopped pistachios, almonds or different nuts (Center Jap / Greek / Lebanese – the place nuts in desserts are liked!)

• with rum ‘ n raisin ice cream (Caribbean)

• dulce de leche (Latin American cuisines)

I’ve popped a couple of extra concepts within the FAQ under. Let me know what you serve this with, I wish to know! – Nagi x

PS Consuming it plain, together with your fingers, devouring it such as you would a slice of pizza, is totally acceptable in my books.
