Raspberry Plum Crumb Tart Recipes

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE TART

Steps:

• For the cinnamon topping: In a medium bowl, combine and mix the flour, cinnamon, salt and dry ginger. Mix in the brown sugar. Stir in the melted butter and work with your fingers until it becomes like wet sand. Transfer the topping to a baking sheet, breaking it into smallish pieces, and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the tart.
• For the tart dough: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt and pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse a few times. Add the egg yolks and pulse until everything is blended. Do not overwork or your dough will be tough. Flatten onto a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate. When chilled and workable, place on a piece of parchment paper, top the dough with the raisins, fold the dough in half over the raisins and roll to about 3/4-inch thickness. Transfer to a greased 9-inch round pie dish. The raisins will sink into the dough as you roll it. Cover with a layer of parchment or tinfoil and weigh down the crust with some pie beans.
• Bake the tart shell until light brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pie beans and parchment and set aside to cool. Lower the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries with the jam and lemon zest. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice with the brown sugar and cornstarch and mix until smooth. Pour over the raspberries. Toss gently to mix the ingredients without crushing the raspberries.
• Spoon the raspberry filling over the crust and top with an even layer of cinnamon topping. Place in the center of the oven and bake until the topping looks fully baked and the fruit juicy, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool before slicing.

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE TART

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Transfer 2 cups mixture to a bowl and drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water evenly over it (reserve remaining mixture). Stir gently with a fork until incorporated.
• Squeeze a small handful of dough: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until incorporated. (Do not overwork dough, or pastry will be tough.)
• Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all dough together with pastry scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. If dough is sticky, dust lightly with additional flour. Wrap disk in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Make topping while dough chills:
• Add almonds and sugar to reserved dough mixture in a bowl and rub together until some large clumps form.
• Assemble pie:
• Put a large baking sheet on oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out disk of dough into a 14- by 13-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Fit into tart pan and trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against rim of pan to reinforce edge. Fill shell with berries and sprinkle evenly with topping. Bake tart in pan on baking sheet until topping and crust are golden and filling is bubbling, about 55 to 60 minutes (loosely cover with a sheet of foil after 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning). Cool in pan on a rack 20 minutes, then remove side of pan and cool tart completely, about 45 minutes.

PLUM RASPBERRY CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of the flour, and the orange juice and toss well. Add the raspberries and toss lightly. Pour into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish.
• For the topping, place the remaining 1 cup of flour, the remaining 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and the salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Pour the mixture into a bowl, add the oats, and work it with your hands until it's in large crumbles. Add 1/2 cup of the almonds and mix well.
• Spread the topping evenly over the plums, making sure the fruit is covered. Sprinkle with some extra almonds. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

RASPBERRY-PLUM CRUMB TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan; set aside. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Bake until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Rub warm nuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove skins. Let cool. Place nuts in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until medium fine, about 30 pulses.
• Transfer the nuts to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the light-brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix until just combined. Add butter, and mix on low speed until the crumb begins to stick together, 2 to 3 minutes. Press 3 cups of crumb into the bottom of the prepared pan and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan to form the crust. Set remaining crumb mixture aside.
• Transfer crust to the oven; bake until it appears to be set, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Slice plums in half, and remove pits. Slice into eighths. Scatter 3/4 cup raspberries and sliced plums onto cooled crust; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon flour and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk in the egg, the egg yolk, heavy cream, milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg (optional). Pour custard over fruit; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Transfer tart to the oven; bake until custard has set and is slightly golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Garnish with remaining raspberries. Let rest at least 25 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PLUM, RASPBERRY JAM & CARDAMOM CRUMBLE SQUARES

Steps:

• Butter and line a 30 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment, leaving an overhang so you can lift out the traybake later, then butter the parchment. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• To make the pastry, put all the ingredients, except the vanilla, into a food processor and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add a couple of teaspoons of very cold water and the vanilla, then blitz again. The mixture should come together into a ball. If it doesn't, add a little more cold water and blitz again. Press into the tin using your fingers and the back of a large spoon, then bake in the oven for 15-18 mins until pale golden. Leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Stir the cardamom seeds and the lemon juice into the jam until smooth. Spread the jam over the pastry base, leaving a 2cm border all the way round. Cut each plum half into 1cm slices. Lay these in rows, overlapping, on top of the jam.
• To make the crumble, put the flour, ground almonds, butter, sugar and lemon zest into a food processor (you don't need to wash it out first), and blitz until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Tip this over the plums and scatter the flaked almonds on top. Bake for about 35-40 mins until the top is golden and the plums are tender. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
• Carefully lift the traybake out of the tin onto your work surface using the baking parchment. Leave for a few hours so the fruit can settle. Cut into squares or rectangles, then sift some icing sugar over the top, if you like.

PLUM & RASPBERRY TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C/320°F.
• Start to make the filling by chopping the plums into slices and removing the stones. Place 300ml of water in a saucepan along with the vanilla, cinnamon and 100g of the honey then bring to the boil. Once boiling add in the plums and leave to simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add all the crust ingredients, except for the ground almonds and rolled oats, to a food processor and pulse. Slowly add in the ground almonds and rolled oats whilst stirring.
• Now tip the crust ingredients into a large pastry tin or 4 small tins and spread it out evenly along the bottom and sides. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile mix the rest of the filling ingredients (ground almonds, 150g honey, eggs and coconut oil) in a blender.
• Remove the base(s) from the oven and pour in the filling, then carefully place the poached plums on top along with the raspberries.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then serve with a sprinkle of sea buckthorn powder.

PLUM AND RASPBERRY CORNMEAL CRISP

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the filling: In an 8-inch square baking dish, combine the light brown sugar, flour and salt. Add the plums, raspberries, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine. (Your hands are a great tool for this step.) Try not to mash the raspberries too much, and set aside.
• Make the topping: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, light brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and pinch the mixture together with your fingertips until evenly moistened and pebble-sized crumbs form. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the top of the fruit.
• Bake until the topping is golden brown and fruit juices are bubbling all around the edges, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly. If you like, serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
