Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pea-size pieces
1 cup flour
Pinch kosher salt
1/4 cup ice water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
3 eggs
1 vanilla bean, split and insides scraped
2 tablespoons butter
6 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/8ths
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup golden raisins
Flour, for dusting
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Combine the butter, flour, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like Parmesan cheese. Drizzle in half the cold water and pulse until the mixture forms a rough ball, adding the remaining water if needed. Remove the dough from the food processor, form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • For the filling: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook it until it starts to brown and begins to smell like hazelnuts. Transfer the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle. Add the sugar and beat together on medium speed. Gradually add the flour. Once the flour has combined, add the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla bean seeds.
  • For the apples: In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples and sugar and cook until the apples start to soften, 6 to7 minutes. Pull the pan off the burner and add in the brandy. Return to the fire and flambe, if desired, or just let the alcohol burn off. Toss in the raisins.
  • To assemble: Remove the dough from the fridge 15 minutes before ready to use, this will allow the dough to soften and come to room temperature.
  • Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the dough out 1/8-inch thick and lay it in the tart pan with lots of overhang on the sides. Schmear half the filling into the bottom of the tart pan and top with the apple mixture. Fold the extra dough over the top of the apples. Brush the dough with the egg wash.
  • Bake the tart in the oven until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy, 45 to 50 minutes.

CLASSIC APPLE TART



Classic Apple Tart image

Apple tart is my family's favorite dessert. I love it because it makes the house smell amazing and the tart looks so polished and beautiful (taking a few extra minutes to fan out the apples makes it look like it came from a bakery!). This is a French-style apple tart, not an apple pie, meaning a wedge of the tart is thinner and neater than a slice of all-American apple pie. Try it topped with ice cream for that delicious a la mode taste. Rolling the dough for the tart makes for a finer-textured crust, but on many occasions I have simply pressed the crust into place with great results.

Time 1h40m

Yield Makes one 9- or 91/2-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into1-inch cubes, plus 1 tablespoon, melted
11/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
3 Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Set the cubed butter on a plate and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Fill a cup with ice and water and set aside. Place 1 1/2 of the flour, 1 8 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Take the butter out of the freezer and add it to the flour. Pulse the mixture until it looks like wet sand, about 10 seconds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together into a ball.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top. Then lightly flour the top of the dough and roll to about a 10- to 11-inch circle, sprinkling more flour under and on top of the dough as necessary. Gently drape the dough over the rolling pin and transfer it to a 9- or 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan (ideally one with a removable bottom). Fit the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan as evenly as possible and press off excess dough from the fluted rim. Set the tart pan on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350degreesF. Peel, core, and quarter the apples and then thinly slice them lengthwise. Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice, the cinnamon, and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 8 teaspoon salt. Remove the baking sheet with the tart shell from the refrigerator. Arrange the apples in concentric circles so they overlap slightly. Brush the edges of the crust with the melted butter and then bake until the edges are golden and the apples have cooked down, about 1 hour. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

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!

Celebrate the season with this rich, nutty tart from Amber Wilson of For the Love of the South.

Provided by Reynolds Kitchens(R)

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
½ cup cold water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup ice cubes
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
2 medium apples, sliced 1/8-inch thick
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. On low speed, combine until the mixture looks like coarse sand. Make sure there are no pieces of butter larger than the size of a pea, and do not over-blend.
  • In a small bowl, combine cold water, vinegar and ice. One tablespoon at a time, add the ice water mixture to the flour and butter, mixing between additions. Add the water until the dough comes together into a ball. The dough should be smooth, not sticky or crumbly. Shape into a disk. Wrap the disk in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to three days.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a small skillet over a low heat, add the butter slowly and melt until it is lightly brown and nutty. Take off the heat and add the scraped vanilla to the browned butter.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x12-inch square. Place the crust on a rimmed baking sheet lined with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.
  • Arrange the apple slices onto the prepared crust in rows, fanning slightly as you go. Make sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges. Brush with the vanilla-infused browned butter. Sprinkle with the brown sugar. Fold up the edges of the tart over the sides of the apples, pressing down. Brush the sides of the tart with the egg wash. Refrigerate the tart for 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. Rotate, decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for another 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown around the edges. Slice into 4 generous slices and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your tart a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the tart pan. Leave some space between the apples so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the tart cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set.
  • Serve the tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will make it even more delicious!

Conclusion:

This benne brown butter apple tart is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make, and it's absolutely delicious. The combination of sweet apples, nutty brown butter, and flaky crust is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this tart a try. You won't be disappointed.
