Apple Crumb Tarts Recipes

SIMPLE APPLE CRUMBLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°
• Line 9″-10″ tart pan with crust, pinching along the rim to form the crust. Pile the sliced apples in the crust evenly. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle on top of apples.
• In another bowl using a pastry cutter or fork cut the cold butter, brown sugar and flour together until it forms a coarse sand consistency. Then using your hands form the mixture into larger crumbs. Sprinkle that on top of cinnamon/sugar mixture.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes until top is lightly browned and the crust is golden.

BEST EVER APPLE CRUMBLE TART

Steps:

• In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar for just a minute until well combined. Add the flour and combine. Then add the vanilla extract, salt, and egg yolk. Combine well. Pro tip - Do not over cream as we do not want to add too much air into the dough.
• Make a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least two hours until firm to roll. I prefer to chill overnight.Pro tip - If you flatten the dough into a larger disc it will chill faster and you will have to wait for much less time.
• Roll the chilled dough on a lightly dusted surface dusted with flour to the size of a 9-inch tart pan.Pro tip - This dough is delicate so it must be well chilled before rolling. Alternatively, it is easier to roll it between parchment papers.
• Transfer the dough to the tart pan. Gently press the dough into the tart pan making sure to press down into the shape of the pan. Then, remove the excess dough and neaten the edges of the tart pan.Pro tip - I like to roll my rolling pin over the tart to cut off the excess around the edges. Then, neaten the edges by running your thumb along the edges.
• Chill the crust in the fridge for 15 minutes up to 48 hours. Pro tip - If you plan on leaving the crust in the fridge for a longer time, make sure to wrap it in plastic so it does not dry out.
• Preheat oven at 375°F/ 190°C / Gas Mark 5
• Peel, core, and chop apples into small slices about 1/8 inchPro tip - I find an apple corer works great to core the apples. If you don't have one, its better to cut the apples in half and then trim the unwanted center
• Add lemon juice and toss to combine well. Next, add the pumpkin spice, salt, sugar, and nutmeg, followed by the flour. Combine well. Pro tip - the lemon juice will prevent the apples from oxidizing so combine the apples well.
• Pour the apples in the chilled pastry shell - spread them evenly.Pro tip - these will look like a lot of apples but they will shrink quite a bit when cooked so pile them up.
• In the same food processor add the flour, salt, sugar, and chilled cubed butter. Pulse until it is large breadcrumb consistencyPro tip - I like to make the crumble at the same time I make the crust, so I can use the same food processor. This crumble will keep in the fridge for up to a 5 days
• Spread the crumble over the apples - making sure it coats the entire tart evenly.
• Bake the crumble tart in the preheated oven for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the crumble on top looks lightly golden.
• If the crumble on top starts to get too brown - tent with a piece of aluminum foilPro tip - if the edges of the tart get too dark you can use a foil or pie shield to tent it.
• When baked - cool on the wire rack for at least 15 minutes because the crumble is very hot. You can serve this warm or room temperature.

APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Steps:

• For the Filling: In a large heatproof bowl, toss together apples, granulated sugar (use 1 cup if your apples are very tart), salt, vinegar, and spices. Let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for at least 3 hours, or refrigerate (covered) up to 24 hours.
• Stir flour into macerated apple mixture, then set a colander over another bowl and drain, reserving liquid. Transfer liquid to a small saucepan; return apples to bowl. Bring liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until thickened to the consistency of loose pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir back into apple mixture.
