Tart Apple Quiche With Raisins Recipes

TART APPLE QUICHE WITH RAISINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out pastry and line 2 10-inch springform quiche pans, approximately 3/4 inch high, or line 10 small individual quiche pans. Prick pastry, bottom and sides, and line with foil or wax paper. Fill with beans or rice to weight the crust and bake 12 minutes. (If using individual quiche pans, place them on a cookie sheet to make them easier to handle.) Remove weights and linings and return to the oven for 4 or 5 minutes more, or until bottoms have begun to color. Set aside to cool. This step may be done ahead of time.
• Peel and core apple. Peel onion. Process apple and onion together in food processor until they are minced. Cover bottom of each shell with a thin coating of apple and onion mixture.
• Divide raisins and cashew pieces among the shells, followed by a sprinkling of the sage and thyme leaves. Generously grate nutmeg and grind pepper over each, using more nutmeg than pepper.
• Process the cheese in a food processor until it is the consistency of fine crumbs. Fill each quiche with cheese and pat it into place.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix sherry, eggs and half-and-half in a bowl. Beat well to combine. Carefully pour egg mixture into each tart until surface of cheese is moist but tart is not overflowing. (If there is liquid left over, save for an omelet.) Place quiches on a cookie sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are puffed and brown. Larger quiches will take longer than smaller ones. Serve immediately.

APPLE RAISIN TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Crust: Combine the butter, flour and salt in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture looks like grated Parmesan. Drizzle in half of the ice water and pulse until the mixture forms a rough ball, adding the remaining water if needed. Remove the dough from the food processor, form it into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Filling: Cook's Note: Enough for 2 tarts. It's easier to make a larger quantity and it will last in the refrigerator for months.)
• In a small saucepan melt the butter and cook it until it starts to brown and begins to smell like hazelnuts. Transfer the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle, then add the sugar and beat together on a medium speed. Gradually add the flour. Once the flour is incorporated, add the eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in the vanilla bean seeds.
• Apples: In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the apples and sugar and cook until they start to soften, about 6 to 7 minutes. Pull the pan off the burner and add the brandy. Return to the fire and flambe, if desired, or just let the alcohol burn off. Toss in the raisins and reserve.
• Assembly: Remove the dough from the refrigerator 15 minutes before ready to use, this will allow the dough to soften and come to room temperature.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness and lay it into a 9-inch tart pan with lots of overhang on the sides. Schmear half of the filling into the bottom of the tart pan and top with the apple mixture. Fold the dough overhang over the top of the apples. Brush the dough with the egg wash. Refrigerate the other half of the filling for another use.
• Bake the tart in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven, cut into wedges and serve.
