Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup (110g) butter and 1/4 cup (50g) sugar. Cream them together until light and fluffy.
2. Add 2 yolks (33g) and mix until well incorporated.
3. Gradually sift in 3/4 cup (90g) all-purpose white wheat flour, ensuring to mix thoroughly.
4. Add 2 tsp (10g) milk, 1 tsp (5g) spice mix, and 1 tsp (3g) cinnamon. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
5. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
2. Prepare the Apples:
1. Peel, core, and slice the 4 apples (640g). Place the slices in a bowl.
2. Drizzle 1/4 cup (50g) lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent browning. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Add 1/3 cup (72g) brown sugar to the apples and mix well.
3. Make the Caramel Sauce:
1. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup (230g) heavy whipping cream over medium heat.
2. Add the brown sugar-coated apple slices to the saucepan.
3. Stir continuously and cook until the apple slices are tender and the mixture thickens into a caramel sauce, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Roll out the chilled shortcrust dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart or pie pan.
3. Transfer the dough to the pan and trim any excess. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Pour the caramel apple mixture into the shortcrust base, spreading it out evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
5. Finish:
1. Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
2. Dust the top with 1 tsp (5g) powdered sugar before serving.
- Slice and serve the caramel apple tart warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Opt for tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor against the sweet caramel.
- Refrigerate the shortcrust dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out; this makes it easier to handle and prevents shrinkage during baking.
- Keep an eye on the caramel while cooking it; it can quickly turn from a beautiful golden brown to burnt.
- When spreading the caramel over the apples, do it quickly before it sets to ensure even coverage.
- If the caramel seems too thick, you can add a little bit of heavy cream to achieve the desired consistency.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples evenly, which ensures they cook consistently.
- Allow the dessert to cool slightly before serving, giving the caramel a chance to set and the flavors to meld together.
This caramel apple with spiced shortcrust dessert is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The spiced shortcrust provides a perfect base for the caramelized apples, and the entire dish is sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy this treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate the experience.
