Apple Cheddar Country Tart Recipes

APPLE CHEDDAR COUNTRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• On floured work surface, rool out pastry dough into a 16" round.
• Fold dough in half and transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Set aside.
• (note: I use prepurchased pie dough already in two rounds, so I simply lay one on the sheet and top with the second. You end up with a round tart this way).
• In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, lemon, raisins, cinnamon,nutmeg and salt. Gently stir to blend.
• Mound apple mixture in the middle of the dough, leaving two to four inches all around the edge.
• Scatter cheddar cheese over mixture.
• Fold edge over filling all the way around, pleating pastry as needed.
• Lightly baste with water, then sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mix on top.
• Bake tart in preheated oven until pastry is golden and apples are tender, about 30 to 35 minutes.

APPLE-CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll out pie crust lengthwise to fit into the bottom a 13x9-inch baking dish with a good 1/2-inch of the crust up all sides.
• Mix apple pie filling, ricotta cheese, egg, and shredded Cheddar cheese together in a bowl; pour over the pastry and flatten into a smooth layer.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Mash butter into the flour mixture with a fork or pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the apple pie mixture in the pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is a good caramel-brown color, 15 to 20 minutes.
