Apple-Membrillo Tart image

For a tart that's both sweet and, well, tart, use Granny Smith apples. They're the perfect partner for the membrillo (Spanish quince paste) in the filling. Serve with creamy blue cheese, jewel-like green grapes, and crunchy Marcona almonds for the ultimate dessert platter.

Time 2h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
4 ounces membrillo (quince paste), such as Mitica, room temperature
2 small Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, and cut into 1/8-inch slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Marcona almonds, grapes, and blue cheese, such as Bayley Hazen, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle; fit into a tart pan. Trim edges flush with pan. Prick dough lightly with a fork and freeze until firm, 15 minutes.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon membrillo; mash remainder with 1 teaspoon water until spreadable. Using an offset spatula, spread evenly over dough in pan. Shingle apples over top. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until pastry is golden and apples are browned and tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium, heat reserved membrillo with 1 tablespoon water and remaining 1 tablespoon butter, stirring often, until smooth.
  • Remove tart from oven; brush apples with glaze. Return to oven; bake until apples just darken in spots and caramelize, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely before slicing. (Tart can be stored, loosely covered, at room temperature up to 1 day.) Serve with almonds, grapes, and cheese.

I'm vegan, so I made this tart with a vegan crust and filling. It turned out great! The tart was just as delicious as the traditional version.

I'm allergic to apples, so I made this tart with pears instead. It turned out great! The pears were just as delicious as apples in the tart.

This tart was a bit too difficult to make for me. I'm not a very experienced baker, so I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I'm not a huge fan of membrillo, but I thought this tart was still pretty good. The apples were sweet and tart, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a bunch of apples that were about to go bad, so I made this tart and it turned out great!

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I would use less sugar in the filling.
