The easiest pome tart is French!

I’ll admit it – quick, puff pastry desserts are a large shortcut which, 95% of the time, is wholly acceptable successful my world. Just not precisely the benignant of happening I’d proudly serve to guests. More similar what I’d rotation retired if my grander program fell apart, oregon I got truthful caught up perfecting the main I ran retired of clip for dessert. Ah, the failed meal enactment stories I could share…..!

But this French Apple Tart? This 1 makes the cut. Because it’s JB’s look – and JB isn’t conscionable anyone. He’s our nonmigratory French chef, calved and raised successful France, trained successful Michelin-starred kitchens. Suddenly, puff pastry and apples feels little similar a shortcut and much similar thing clever yet charming and très chic, implicit with a fancy sounding name: Tarte Fine aux Pommes

If it’s bully capable for JB, it’s decidedly bully capable for institution – and much than bully capable for me!

Oh, also, impervious of crispy base: you tin prime it up similar a portion of pizza! (Did France conscionable cringe astatine that comparison? 😂).

Ingredients

This French Apple Tart look really came to beryllium due to the fact that we had a azygous expanse of puff pastry near aft sharing the B85 Beef Sausage Rolls, and a mates of bittersweet looking apples successful the effect bowl. And that, my friends, is beauteous overmuch each you need!

• Apple – We utilized Gala for its sweet/tartness and balance, but you tin usage your favourite eating apple.

  You needn’t interest astir the cooking qualities of antithetic varieties similar you bash for different pome recipes arsenic the tart isn’t successful the oven agelong capable for this to substance (eg. immoderate apples soften excessively rapidly which isn’t perfect for immoderate dishes). We’ve made this with a assortment of apples – Granny Smith (tart), Pink woman (crisp tart sweet), Fuji (extra sweet) – they each enactment fine, it conscionable comes down to what pome you’ve got oregon what you like!

• Puff pastry – I know, I was shocked, store bought puff is acceptable to the French! 😂 Well, astatine least, French location cooks. However, I bash deliberation France would outcry if I didn’t astatine slightest (strongly!) urge that you usage puff pastry made with food arsenic it tastes amended than puff that is made with flavourless oil. The packet volition accidental “butter” connected it.

  Size – This look calls for a 25cm / 10″ quadrate of puff pastry which is the modular size present successful Australia. If yours is larger, trim it, oregon if you person smaller offcuts, property them unneurotic to marque 1 larger 1 or marque aggregate smaller ones.

• Sugar – For the underside of the puff pastry, which makes it other crisp, arsenic good arsenic sprinkling connected the pome and crust. You lone request 5 teaspoons!

• Butter – Just 1 tablespoonful of melted butter, to brushwood crossed the aboveground of the pome and borderline of the crust.

Cinnamon enactment – Cinnamon and pome is simply a classical pairing, truthful I wouldn’t discourage you from adding it! Just premix it with the sweetener past sprinkle – I’ve included quantities successful the look notes.

How to marque this casual French Apple Tart

1. Preheat the tray until hot. This decidedly helps marque the underside a small spot crisper which is lovely!

2. Apple slices – Peel the pome if you privation (optional). Then chopped into 0.5cm / 0.2″ slices.

   How I bash it – Potato peeler for skin, chopped successful half, scoop retired mediate with a melon baller, past chopped a small “V” retired of the apical and bottom. Lay it chopped look down and slice. Keep the slices unneurotic arsenic you chopped alternatively than scattering them everyplace – makes it casual to instrumentality retired onto the pastry.

3. Sugar underside – Sprinkle 3 teaspoons of sweetener connected a expanse of baking insubstantial (parchment paper). Then spot the barely-thawed puff pastry expanse connected it – the sweetener volition stick.

   The sweetener makes the underside other crispy arsenic good arsenic caramelising.

4. Edges – Fold successful the edges to signifier the rim of the tart. No request to usage ovum oregon thing to clasp successful place.

5. Top with pome – Lay the pome slices crossed the aboveground successful 3 rows, overlapping them slightly. Brush with food past sprinkle with sugar.

   PS No request to prick the basal – which is expected to halt the basal from puffing up. I forgot to bash it and it made nary quality due to the fact that the pome weighs the basal down.

6. Bake – Place the tart connected the blistery tray, keeping it connected the paper. Bake 30 minutes.

7. Baked! The tart is acceptable erstwhile the edges are heavy aureate and the pome slices are lightly browned connected the edges.

8. Serve with a dusting of icing sweetener (optional) and crystal pick (not optional!). Cream is besides nice, but I decidedly similar crystal cream.

Make this for day beverage oregon a cosy dessert for dinner. I tin spot you serving this up aft a affluent Beef Bourguignon, for French Chicken Fricassee, a dilatory cooked Shredded Beef Ragu oregon a Herb & Garlic Butter Roast Chicken.

To beryllium honest, I can’t deliberation of overmuch I wouldn’t service this with! Well, possibly not if I was doing an Asian themed menu. But thing western, European, adjacent Middle Eastern, Moroccan, South American, I perfectly would. You tin besides adhd a interaction of flavours from cuisines of the satellite to suit themed menus – for example:

• sprinkle of chopped pistachios, almonds oregon different nuts (Middle Eastern / Greek / Lebanese – wherever nuts successful desserts are loved!)

• with rum ‘ n raisin crystal cream (Caribbean)

• dulce de leche (Latin American cuisines)

I’ve popped a fewer much ideas successful the FAQ below. Let maine cognize what you service this with, I privation to know! – Nagi x

PS Eating it plain, with your hands, devouring it similar you would a portion of pizza, is perfectly acceptable successful my books.
