Linquendas Apple Crumble Tart Recipes

QUICK AND EASY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the puffed pastry rectangles onto a baking pan that's been sprayed with nonstick spray or lined with parchment paper. Add the sugar, salt and lemon juice to the apples. Stir to combine. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
• Arrange the apple slices on the pastry rectangles in a straight line, overlapping as you go. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from the pan immediately and place on a serving platter. Serve with caramel sauce and chopped pecans.

APPLE TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 squares. Divide the pastry between the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
• Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stem. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baller. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally across the pastry and place one slice of apple on each side of the arranged slices. Sprinkle the apples evenly with the sugar and dot them with the butter.
• Bake for 40 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Don't worry! The apple juices will burn in the pan but the tarts will be fine! When the tarts are done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados until bubbly and brush the apples and pastry completely with the jelly mixture. Loosen the tarts with a metal spatula so they don't stick to the paper. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

APPELTAART (DUTCH APPLE TART)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
• Combine flour, butter, 1 1/2 egg, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead by hand to form a smooth, consistent dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 10-inch circle; press over the bottom and sides of the prepared cake pan.
• Mix apples, sultanas, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread over the dough in the cake pan.
• Roll out remaining dough into a circle; cut into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Form an X in the center of the tart with the 2 longest strips. Create a lattice by weaving vertical and horizontal strips in an over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Press ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the tart; trim excess dough with a knife.
• Brush remaining beaten egg over the dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is light brown, 60 to 65 minutes.
