Shortcut Patisserie Apple Tart Recipes

SHORTCRUST PASTRY APPLE TART

Steps:

• In a bowl combine an egg, sugar, butter, flour, and a pinch of salt. Using your hands mix all the ingredients together to form a firm dough. Wrap it with cling film and refrigerate while making the apple filling.
• Grease a 28 cm (11 inches) flan dish with butter and preheat the oven to 180°C (360 °F). Then peel the apples, remove the core and cut into slices. Combine sliced apples with ground cinnamon and lemon juice. * Feel free to add a handful raisins or almond flakes to your apple filling.
• Take the dough out of the fridge and divide the dough into two doughs: 2/3 (two thirds) and 1/3 (one third). Roll out the 1/3 pastry dough on a flour-dusted surface with a dusted rolling pin. Place it on the prepared the prepared flan dish (tart tin). Then press the pastry into the flan dish with your hands. * If your dough is breaking apart, don't worry, just press it into the form with your hands. * To make your life easier simply roll out the dough dough on a lightly dusted parchment paper or silicon mat and gently turn the rolled-out pastry into the prepared flan dish (tart tin).
• Roll out the 2/3 pastry dough and put it on top of the filling with the help of the rolling pin (see step by step photo above). (I always divide the pastry once again into 2. In that way it will be easier to work with). Cut the pastry top in the middle, to allow the steam to escape.
• Bake for about 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Let the tart cool for a few minutes. Serve your apple tart warm or cold with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, vanilla sauce or just like that.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Make the crust: Cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the vanilla. Finally, mix in the flour to make a smooth dough. Alternately, put the butter, sugar, vanilla, and flour in the food processor and pulse to crumbs. Pour them into your pan and press into place. Press into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, giving it about a 1-inch rim. Bake 15 minute, or until lightly golden. Remove the tart shell from the oven.
• While the crust bakes, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla for the cream filling until smooth. Make the topping by tossing the apple slices with the cinnamon, sugar, and nuts.
• Remove the tart shell from the oven. Spread over the cream mixture. Arrange the apple slices on top, and then scatter over the nuts. Bake until the apples are tender and golden, about 40 minutes.

EASY APPLE TARTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out to a rectangle about the size of this magazine and trim the edges to neaten. Place the pastry on a baking sheet and scatter with the almonds and 1 tbsp sugar. Score perforated lines to make 6 equal-size sections (this will make the tart easier to cut). Arrange each half of apple, sliced, in its own section of pastry. Can be made up to this stage the night before, covered with cling film and chilled in the fridge.
• Scatter the remaining sugar over the apples, dot with butter, then bake for 50-55 mins until the pastry is biscuity brown and the apples are tinged and soft. Cut the tart into 6 squares, dust with icing sugar, if you like, and serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
