Caramelized Apple Tart
| Ingredient | 8" Tart | 20cm Tart |
|---|---|---|
| Pâte Sucrée | 1 tart shell | 1 tart shell |
| caramelized apples | 2 apples | 2 apples |
| almond cream | 1 tart’s worth | 1 tart’s worth |
| apricot jam | 2 Tbsp. | 2 Tbsp. |
This tart is filled with a medley of complex flavors — delicate almond cream, sweet apples, and just a hint of bitterness from the caramelization.
Preparation
- Bake one Pâte Sucrée tart shell; cool.
- Prepare one batch of almond cream, preferably the day before, letting it rest overnight in the refrigerator.
- Cook a batch of caramelized apples.
Directions
- Assemble tart.
Spread the almond cream in an even layer on the bottom of the tart shell. Arrange the caramelized apple slices on the cream. - Bake.
Bake tart at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes. - Finish.
Heat the apricot jam in the microwave until it just starts bubbling, then brush on the surface of the tart to make a shiny coat.
Notes
- If you want to make a very even layer of cream, you can use a pastry bag with a round tip to make a spiral, starting at the center of the tart.
