  • Combine the apple slices with the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Let the apples stand until the sugar is dissolved, about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  • Place a shaped large dough round on a baking sheet.
  • Arrange the apples slices in 2 concentric circles on the large dough round or in one circle on the small rounds, overlapping the apple slices slightly.
  • Brush the rim of the crust with the egg yolk.
  • Sprinkle the apples with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.

  • Place the cream cheese, butter, 1 cup flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor.
  • Process until the dough just comes together.
  • It will be sticky.

  • Turn the dough out onto the sheet and, with floured hands, press the dough into a rough 10-inch circle or four 5-inch circles.
  • Roll about 1/2 inch of the edge of the circle inward to create a lip to catch the juices.
  • Refrigerate the crust for 1 hour or wrap the baking sheet in plastic and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours until you are ready to use it.
  • Shaped Rich Cream Cheese Tart Dough, wrapped in plastic, may be frozen for up to 2 months and used directly from the freezer.
  • TO MAKE VANILLA WIHPPED CREAM: Combine the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  • With an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip on high speed until the cream just holds stiff peaks.

  • Use immediately, or refrigerate it, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 6 hours.

  • NOTE: If you are having eight or fewer people for Thanksgiving, double this recipe and make eight individual tarts.

Number Of Ingredients 16

To make the tart:
pâte brisée
raw rice for weighting the shell
4 Granny Smith apples (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup golden raisins
a pinch of cinnamon
For the pâte brisée:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • To make the tart:
  • Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable fluted rim. Prick the shell with a fork and chill it for at least 30 minutes or, covered, overnight. Line the shell with foil, fill the foil with the rice, and bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and the rice carefully, bake the shell 10 minutes more, or until it is pale golden, and let it cool in the pan on a rack.
  • In a bowl stir together the apples, peeled, cored, and cut into eighths, the lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and toss the mixture until the apples are coated well. In a large bowl whisk together the yolks, the cream, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla and stir in the raisins. Arrange the apples decoratively in the shell, pour the cream mixture over them, and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon over it. Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a cake tester, let it cool in the pan on a rack, and remove the rim.
  • To make the pâte brisée:
  • In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding more ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball.

Time 1h

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large egg yolks
3/4 cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons sugar
1 partially prebaked and cooled flaky sweet pastry shell

Tips:

  • For the perfect crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help the crust stay flaky.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When baking the crust, use a pie weight or dried beans to weigh it down. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling up.
  • For the smoothest filling, use a food processor or blender to puree the apples.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or yogurt.
  • Be sure to chill the tart before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This apple cream tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this apple cream tart a try!
