Last sun the pelting was falling slow upon the fields, trees were losing their leaves, the heaven was grayness too gloomy. And shops were closed. I could non recall of a to a greater extent than depressing moment, hence I started looking for a solution. And what's improve than an Apple Tart to offset the Fall/Winter Season 2012?
Looking at unlike Italian Apple Tart recipes, I works life this 1 which is the correct mix betwixt tradition too innovation. Of course, the Italian Apple Tart is real unlike from the American Apple Pie (there is no pastry cover) too the British Apple Crumble (no butter crumbs).
Aprons on! Get laid upward with:
- 280 gr. manifestly flour (00)
- 160 gr. Butter
- 500 gr. Apples (Gray Pippin Apples, or "Mele Renette")
- 300 cl. Milk
- 100 gr. Sugar
- 80 gr. of Rich Tea Biscuits
- 40 gr. of Raisins
- 3 Egg Yolks
- 1 Vanilla Bean
- 3 Tablespoons of Apricot Jam
- 1 Lemon
- 3 Tablespoons of Marsala liquor (€ 12,99/bottle at Best of Italia Shop)
Short-crust Pastry:
Mix together 250 gr. of flour amongst the butter (still cold), cutting into pocket-sized pieces. Add 2-3 tablespoons of H2O too mix until the pastry became smooth. Cover it amongst cling celluloid too pose inwards the refrigerator for at to the lowest degree 1 hour. After that, whorl it (3 mm height) over a spring-release tin (previously greased too covered amongst baking paper) too riddle it amongst holes.
Keep inwards the refrigerator the extra dough.
Marsala Italian-style Custard:
Whisk two egg yolks amongst fifty gr. of sugar, hence add together three tablespoons of Marsala too the remaining flour. In the meantime, oestrus the milk upward amongst the Vanilla Bean, carved along the side. Pour the hot milk into the mixture too pose everything on the stove, mixing well, until it thickens.
Apple Tart:
Crumbles the biscuits too spread them over the pastry inwards the tin. Cover it amongst the cream too brand some other layer of crumbled biscuits too raisins (previously softened upward inwards the Marsala). Keep a spoon of raisins aside, for later.
Peel off too cutting into slices the apples: seat the apple tree slices on the top of the tart.
For the cardinal decoration: get got a regular shaped apple tree too tegument it, removing the applecore. Put it into a saucepan too encompass it amongst water, adding some lemon tegument too twenty gr. of sugar. Let it produce for 10-15 minutes; drain it too encompass it amongst shortcrust pastry strips. Fill the cardinal hole amongst the remaining raisins too a tablespoon of apricot jam.
Brush the pastry over the cardinal apple tree amongst the remaining yolk; oestrus upward the remaining jam too spread it over the apple tree slices, sprinkling the saccharide over the whole tart.
Cook inwards the pre-heated oven at 180° for fifty minutes or until the pastry gets dark.
