Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Tarte Tatin

 TARTE TATIN. (credit: PASCALE PEREZ-RUBIN)

 Use a 28 cm. diameter, oven-safe pan.

Ingredients:

Dough: 

1 ¼ cups flour, sifted

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. sugar

115 gr. cold butter or margarine, cut into small pieces

¼ cup ice water

Filling: 

6 Granny Smith apples

¾ cup sugar

3 Tbsp. cold water

60 gr. butter or margarine, cut into small pieces

Directions:

To prepare the dough: Use a mixer with a steel blade to blend the flour, salt and sugar for a few seconds. Then add the butter and process for 10 seconds until the dough is crumbly. Gradually add the water, and process for 30 seconds until the dough is just mixed. (Don’t overmix, as that will reduce the crust’s flakiness.) Form the dough into a ball, then flatten it a bit and cover with plastic wrap. Set it in the fridge for at least an hour. 

To prepare the filling: Peel and core the apples, then cut into quarters. Reserve one apple half to place in the center of the tart. Add the sugar and water to a pan and bring to a boil over a high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and cook until the sugar turns amber. (Don’t stir the sugar, just shake the pot a bit every once in a while.) Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter. 

Place the half apple in the center of the pan. Arrange the apple quarters in concentric circles in the pan, with the round sides facing down. Cook for 20 minutes over a low heat until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat. 

Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out into a circle on a floured surface so that the circumference is a tad larger than that of the frying pan. Place the dough circle on top of the apples in the pan, and press the extra dough around the edge down into the pan. 

Place the pan in an oven that has been preheated to 190° (you can cover the handle with foil) for 15-20 minutes until the crust has browned. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. 

Place a serving plate upside down on top of the tart, then flip it over. Serve immediately. 

Level of difficulty: Medium Time:40-50 minutes Status: Dairy/parve

Enjoy!

Apple tartlets with almond cream, honey and allspice

 APPLE TARTLETS with almond cream, honey and allspice. (credit: PASCALE PEREZ-RUBIN)

Makes 6 mini tartlets.

Ingredients:

Crust: 

200 gr. puff pastry

1 egg, beaten

Filling: 

100 gr. (1 cup) ground almonds

100 gr. cold butter or margarine, cut into cubes 

100 gr. (1/2 cup) sugar

Pinch of salt

1 large egg

½ - 1 tsp. cinnamon

1 Tbsp. instant pudding powder

Apples

3 Gala apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths

Juice of 1 lemon

Spiced honey:

3-4 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

¼ cup dark honey

½ tsp. ground allspice 

Toppings:

¼ cup honey

½ cup pomegranate seeds

Directions:

To prepare the crust: Flour your work surface and then roll out the puff pastry until it’s ½ cm thick. Line your greased tartlet pans or a muffin pan with the dough. Press it down into the pans. Brush the dough with the beaten egg, then place it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes. 

To prepare the almond cream filling: Add the almonds, butter (or margarine), sugar and salt to a food processor, and blend until mixture is crumbly. Add the egg, cinnamon and vanilla pudding powder and blend until mixture is creamy. 

Peel and core the apples, then slice thinly. Add the apple pieces to a bowl and add the lemon juice. Set aside. 

To prepare the spiced honey: Mix the melted butter (or margarine) with the honey. 

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each frozen tartlet. Arrange the apple slices on top so that they completely cover the filling. Drizzle the honey mixture on top generously, then sprinkle on the allspice. 

Bake in an oven that has been preheated to 180° for 20-30 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown and the apple pieces have softened. 

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle more honey on top and serve with pomegranate seeds.
