Crunchy Caramel Apple Tart
- 100 grams Butter
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 170 grams Plain flour
- 30 grams Almond powder
- 50 grams Butter
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 50 grams Almond powder
- 1 tbsp Rum (optional)
- 1 Apple
- 1 Butter
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
- Tart crust This is my way of making tart crust, but you can feel free to use your preferred recipe.
- First, allow the butter to soften to room temperature.
- Add the sugar to the softened butter and mix until well blended.
- Then mix in the egg yolk.
- Add the milk and blend thoroughly.
- Sift the flour and add along with the almond powder, mixing with a rubber spatula.
- After the flour is integrated into the dough, gather it into a ball to rest in the refrigerator.
- Even if the crust becomes crumbly press it together with your hands.
- Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it chill for at least an hour.
- Topping While your crust is resting, saute the apples.
- Melt butter in a frying pan and place thinly sliced apples in a single layer.
- Once the apples are cooked to transparency, allow them to brown slightly and then cool.
- Butter the tart pan.
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Roll the crust you prepared to about 5 millimetres and place in the pan.
- Pierce several times with a fork and bake for 15 minutes.
- Almond cream While the crust is baking, prepare the almond cream filling.
- Mix the softened butter and sugar until well blended.
- Add the eggs beaten in several batches, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the almond flour and pour into the baked tart shell.
- Arrange the cooled apple slices on top of the tart and bake at 170C for 30 minutes.
- Remove the tart from the pan after it has cooled and let chill.
- In a small pan mix the sugar and water and heat over a medium flame.
- Once it comes to a simmer, shake the the pot occasionally and allow it to brown.
- Once it becomes a caramel colour, immediately take it off the heat.
- Pour this over your finished tart and you're finished!
- It'll add a crispy layer and make it even more delicious, but it's fine to omit if you're short on time or ingredients.
- I made a small tart with the leftover crust and topped it with a raw apple.
- The crunchy apple was also delicious.
