Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
- Toast the hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, cashews, and pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Once toasted, roughly chop the nuts and set them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
- Add the softened butter and mix well to form a crumbly mixture.
- Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared tart pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
- Mix in the brown sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the maple syrup and continue to whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Spread the chopped toasted nuts evenly over the tart crust.
- Pour the egg, sugar, and maple syrup mixture over the top, ensuring it covers the nuts evenly.
- Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean when the tart is done.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once completely cool, remove the tart from the pan. Slice and serve your delicious nutty maple tart.
Tips:
- Ensure all nuts are fresh and ideally roast them lightly before use to enhance their flavor.
- When preparing the crust, make sure the butter is cold to achieve a flaky texture.
- After pouring the maple filling into the tart shell, tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- For easier slicing, let the tart cool completely before cutting into it.
- Store any leftover tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
And there you have it! A delectable nutty maple tart that’s sweet, crunchy, and utterly satisfying. With its combination of rich nuts and sweet maple syrup, this tart is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy this dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. Happy baking!
