Apple Pumpkin Tart Recipes

PUMPKIN APPLE TART

Steps:

• For Pumpkin-Apple Filling:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Toss apples, pumpkin and lemon juice in a large casserole dish, cover and bake for 2-2 ½ hours, until very soft.
• Allow to cool slightly, then add apples, pumpkin and any liquid to a food processor and puree completely, making sure peels are finely ground. Alternatively, use a food mill to remove the peels and seeds.
• Scrape back into the casserole dish, re-cover and bake another 1 ½ hours, stirring halfway through.
• Remove the lid and bake a further 30-40 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes, until very thick.
• Cool to room temperature (or cover and chill until needed - up to 1 week).
• When ready to use, add cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, tapioca starch and egg yolk, mixing well with a spatula. Set aside while preparing pastry.
• For Crust:.
• Cream the cream cheese, shortening, and sugar until fluffy.
• Add vanilla and beat at medium speed until well blended.
• Beat in flours, flax seed, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon until well blended, adding milk as necessary to for a stiff but cohesive dough.
• Shape into a disc and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill at least 2 hours, until firm.
• Preheat the oven to 400°.
• Between sheets of waxed paper, roll the dough into an approximately 15" round.
• Flip into a greased 11" tart pan with a removable bottom set on a baking sheet, pressing into the sides. Trim the edges.
• Dock dough with a fork, then line the shell with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the weights and foil and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the base of the shell is golden.
• Transfer to a rack and cool 30 minutes. Leave oven on.
• To Bake:.
• Spread the apple-pumpkin mixture into the tart shell.
• Starting at the outside, overlap the apple slices in concentric circles over the pumpkin filling. Sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake for about 1 hour, or until the apples are tender and golden and the custard is set in the centre.

APPLE-PUMPKIN-PECAN PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Roll the pie dough out, if needed, into a 10-inch round on a lightly-floured surface (or between two pieces of floured parchment paper). If the dough gets too warm, refrigerate it to firm up. Ease the dough into the prepared pie pan. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges as desired. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool and separate 1/3 cup; coarsely chop the 1/3 cup pecans for garnish and set aside.
• Put the pie pan on a baking sheet and line the chilled pie crust with foil or a large coffee filter and fill with pie weights. Bake until the edges are just barely golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the foil with weights, then brush the bottom and edges of the dough all over with the egg white and continue baking until the bottom of the crust is also just barely golden, 8 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to a rack and cool completely. (Par-bake your pie shell up to 1 day in advance.)
• For the pecan pie filling: Scatter the remaining 1 cup pecans in the bottom of the cooled pie shell. Whisk the corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, egg and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the pecans. Bake until just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pie to a rack until cool to the touch.
• For the apple pie filling: Meanwhile, peel, core and cut the apples into 1/4-inch slices. Toss with the granulated sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the apples and cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cool completely. (Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet in a thin layer to help cool faster).
• Pile the cooled apple mixture up and around the edge of the cooled pie (directly on top of the pecan filling) leaving about an 8-inch well in the center of the pie.
• For the pumpkin pie filling: Whisk together the pumpkin, heavy cream, granulated sugar, egg and spice in a medium bowl. Pour the filling into the center of the pie (directly on top of the pecan filling) with the apples as a border.
• Bake the pie until the pumpkin center is set with just a slight jiggle, 50 minutes to 1 hour. If the crust gets too brown, cover with foil or a pie crust shield. Let the pie cool completely on a rack.
• Sprinkle the reserved 1/3 cup chopped pecans around the pie, snug up against the apple filling. Slice and serve with dollops of whipped cream.

PUMPKIN APPLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spoon the pumpkin puree into a food processor and add the eggs, cream, cheese, salt, and pepper. Process for 10 to 15 seconds to combine.
• Coat a 6-cup gratin dish with the butter. Fill the dish with the pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until set and lightly browned on top.
• Raise the oven temp to 400 degrees. Prep a parchment lined baking sheet and place the puff pastry sheet/s on top*. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges all around to mark a rectangle. (There is a link to a video to see how this is done (below this recipe card) if this does not make sense). Then, using a fork, pierce the dough all around in the center, not the edges. Next, you can use that same sharp knife to make slits on the edges if desired. Bake the pastry dough until golden, for about 15 minutes.
• Remove the pastry shell from the oven, let it sit for a minute or two and then lightly drizzle on just a touch of extra virgin olive oil, spread on about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of pumpkin gratin and then sprinkle on the Swiss and Fontina cheese, using as much, or as little as you want. (I purposely used a little so you could see the pumpkin gratin on the tart).
• Arrange the apple slices on top, lightly brush the apples with the melted butter and sprinkle on some turbinado sugar. Bake the tart for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked though and nicely browned. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy immediately.

PUMPKIN APPLE TART

Steps:

• Place flour, salt, and butter in the food processor and pulse while adding water a little at a time.
• When dough starts to come together and is still a bit crumbly, transfer dough to a floured surface and pat together with floured hands. Dough may be crumbly but will come together when squeezed between your fingers.
• Divide dough in half and place one half into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Press dough into pan and up the sides with the tips of your fingers.
• Use the other half to make 6 to 8 4-inch tarts or another 9-inch tart. I lightly oiled my 4-inch tart pans becauce they did not have a removable bottom, to make removing them from the pan easier. Set dough aside while you slice and mix together the pumpkin mixture.
• Peel and thinly slice apples, place in a large bowl, sprinkle on the sugar and pumpkin pie spice, toss to coat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, natural sugar, pumpkin pie spice, almond milk, vanilla until well combined. Add the arrowroot and whisk until well combined and there are no lumps.
• Arrange apples on the tarts and spread 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin mixture over the small 4-inch tarts, use the remaining mixture over the large tart. If making two 9-inch tarts just divide the mixture between the two.
• Bake tarts on a parchment lined baking pan for 20 to 25 minutes. Pumpkin mixture may be slightly jiggly but will set as it cools.
• Serve tart with coconut cream.
• Have fun and enjoy!!!
