Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and sugar.
- Add the chilled, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. If necessary, add a little more water to get the dough to hold together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the apples. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
- If using dried figs, chop them into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with the chopped figs (if using), ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a tart pan or a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Arrange the apple and fig mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the fruit filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as necessary to enclose the filling.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the tart into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Optionally, drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the top before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is chilled before adding it to the flour to achieve a flaky crust.
- Use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for a balance of tartness and sweetness.
- Soak dried figs in warm water for about 20 minutes if fresh figs are not available, to soften them before use.
- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature to ensure even baking.
- Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set properly.
This Apple and Fig Tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that brings together the natural sweetness of apples and figs with a buttery, crumbly crust. Whether for a special occasion or a cozy weekend treat, this tart is sure to be a hit. Enjoy every bite!
