So being the foodie/nerd that I am, when I get alittle bored I pull out a cookbook and start reading. Well a good family friend of mine, let me borrow her dessert cookbook. So I started reading...and what I found to my delight was an tart recipe, a skill I have not yet tried! Here it goes!
What you need:
Filling: Crust:
- 4 green apples, peeled and thinly sliced - 6 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 1/3 cups of sugar - 2 Tbs. sugar
- 1 Tbs. flour - 1 large egg plus one yolk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract - 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon - 1 Tbs. baking powder
Brown Sugar Topping:
- 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 dark brown sugar
- 6 tbs. butter
- 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Lets start with the filling. Begin with thinly slicing your peeled apples. Put them into water as you slice, so that they don't turn brown. Put the rest of ingredients into a plastic bag and add your drained and dried apples. Shake around till the apples are all coated. Set aside.
Topping Time!
Mix all the ingredients except, butter, together in a large bowl. Then using your fingers pull apart the butter and mash it into the flour mixture. It's alittle messy but it should look like little bits of of butter covered in flour..
Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the finished topping, so here it is pre-butterCrust, its a must!
With a mixer, blend sugar and butter. Slowly add the egg and extra yolk.Then add the flour till it comes together.Pull out the dough, and start pushing it into the tart shell with your fingers. Till the the crust comes up the sides of the shell. Use a measuring cup to help you press the dough into the shell.
Now with every part together, put the filling into the crust, and cover the apples with the crumble mixture.
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes at 325. And Ta Da!!! Apple Tart!!
