The story behind
This recipe is a tribute to classic home baking. It doesn't need complicated fillings; the secret lies in the quality of the apples and the slow baking process that allows the fruit to soften while the base achieves a firm, golden texture. It is a tart that looks professional due to its symmetrical pattern but maintains an unmistakable homemade soul.
Instructions
-
11. Dough Preparation: Mix the flour with the cold butter until you get a sandy texture. Add the egg and a splash of cold water if necessary to form a ball. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
-
22. Lining the Mold: Roll out the dough and cover a glass tart dish. Trim the excess and press the edges to create a rustic wavy design.
-
33. Fruit Prep: Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut them into thin, uniform slices.
-
44. Decorative Assembly: Place the apple slices over the dough starting from the edge towards the center, overlapping them slightly to create the circular pattern seen in the image.
-
55. Baking: Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apples. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are soft.
-
66. Professional Finish: If you want a professional shine, brush the apples with a bit of warm jam as soon as it comes out of the oven. Serve once it has cooled slightly.
