PINK-APPLESAUCE TART

Applesauce is hidden beneath paper-thin, petal-like slices of Empire apples. The fluted pastry shell is filled with the rosy sauce that's spiked with Calvados. More Calvados and a glaze of red currant jelly give the tart a beautiful sheen after baking. Martha made this recipe on Martha Bakes episode 406.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Pate Brisee for Pink-Applesauce Tart
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons Calvados
1 1/2 cups Martha's Pink Applesauce
2 small red-skinned apples (about 12 ounces), such as McIntosh or Empire
3 tablespoons red-currant or sour-cherry jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/8-inch thickness. Fit into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edge of dough flush with top of pan. Prick bottom of dough with a fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights.
  • Bake until edges are set and golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove paper and beans. Bake until bottom is dry and golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, combine sugar, butter, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon Calvados and simmer 30 seconds. Stir in applesauce.
  • Spread applesauce mixture evenly in cooled tart shell. Core apples, then use a mandoline or a very sharp knife to slice into almost paper-thin rings. Arrange apples over applesauce mixture, overlapping slices in concentric circles from the center out, to completely cover tart. Bake until apples are crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine jelly and remaining 1 tablespoon Calvados in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Brush glaze over apples. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Unmold and serve. Tart can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.

Categories     Food & Cooking

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes enough for one 10-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between fingertips. Add additional 1 tablespoon ice water, if needed; do not overprocess.
  • Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap. Knead once or twice. Form into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your applesauce tart a complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
  • Don't overcook the apples. You want them to be soft enough to mash, but not so soft that they turn to mush.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crust. It should be golden brown and flaky, not dark brown and hard.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld and the crust time to set.

Conclusion:

The pink applesauce tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover apples, and it is also a fun and festive treat for parties and gatherings. With its sweet and tart flavor, flaky crust, and beautiful pink color, the pink applesauce tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
