French Apple Tart
Serves 6
Ingredients
Pastry: 6oz (175g) plain flour 1½oz (40g) butter 1½oz (40g) white vegetable fat, diced 1 egg yolk Water, if necessary Filling: 2lb (900g) cooking apples 2oz (50g) butter 2 tablespoons water 4 tablespoons apricot jam 2oz caster sugar grated rind of half a lemon 8oz (225g) eating apples 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice About 1 teaspoon of caster sugar for sprinkling Glaze: 4 tablespoons of apricot jam
Method
Measure the flour into a bowl, add the fats and rub with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk to the flour and stir until it forms a dough, adding a little water if necessary. Knead the pastry lightly, then wrap and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6. While the oven is heating and the pastry resting, start to make the filling. Cut the cooking apple into quarters, remove the core and chop into chunks (no need to remove the skin). Melt the butter in a large pan and then add the chopped apples and water. Cover and cook very gently for 10-15 minutes until the apples have become soft and mushy. Rub the apple through a sieve in to a clean pan, add the apricot jam, sugar and grated lemon rind. Cook over a high heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly until the excess liquid has evaporated and the apple mixture has thickened. Allow to cool. Roll out the pastry thinly on a lightly floured work surface and use to line an 8’’ (20cm) loose based fluted tin. Cover with grease proof paper and fill with baking beans. Bake blind in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and cook for about another 5 minutes until the pastry at the base of the plan has dried out. Spoon the cooled apple puree in to flan case and level the surface. Peel, quarter and core the eating apples, then slice very thinly. Arrange in neat overlapping circles over the apple puree, brush with lemon juice, then sprinkle with caster sugar. Return the flan to the oven, then bake for a further 25 minutes until the pastry and the edges of the apples are lightly brown. For the glaze sieve the apricot jam into a pan and heat until runny. Brush the glaze over the top of the apples and pastry.
