Apple Tart Recipe (Apple Rose Tart)
Description
The Apple Tart Recipe (Apple Rose Tart) combines a tender, slightly sweet crust that holds the filling without leaking juice, with thinly sliced Granny Smith apples dusted in cinnamon and sugar. The layered apple slices are arranged in concentric rings, starting with the largest slices around the edges and gradually moving toward the center, creating a rose-like appearance. The crust is made by blending chilled butter into dry ingredients, then moistened with egg and cream, creating a dough that is spread in a springform pan.
The apples' slight tartness contrasts with the sweet crust and cinnamon, enhanced by small butter dots on top that melt and enrich the filling as the tart bakes at 375˚F. This tart is ideal for showcasing the natural apple flavors with a delicate, visually attractive presentation.
Before baking, you can choose whether to drizzle any collected apple syrup from mixing or discard it, noting that including it may cause some leakage but doesn't affect the flavor negatively. This tart pairs well with coffee or tea and can be served as a dessert or a special treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients for Apple Tart Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 8 Tbsp, chilled
- 1 egg chilled, large
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
Ingredients for Apple Filling:
- 1 lb apple 3 medium apples, Granny Smith variety
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tbsp butter to dot the top, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 375˚F and butter a 9" springform pan. Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Dice 1/2 cup chilled butter and cut it into the flour with a pastry blender, for 1 to 2 min or until butter crumbles are pea-sized.
- In a small bowl, beat 1 egg well with a fork. Add 1/3 cup cream and stir until blended then drizzle over flour mixture and fold with a spatula just until it comes together. Do not over-mix. Transfer dough to prepared springform pan and spread out evenly (it won't be perfect, but try to seal the edges to keep the apple juices in).
- Peel, core and thinly slice apples (about 1/16" thick). Transfer to a large bowl. In a small ramekin, stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon then sprinkle over apple slices and toss gently to combine.
- Right away, arrange apple slices in rings starting with the largest slices at the edges and working towards the center, overlapping the slices halfway as you go. Once there is 1/2″ space is left in the center, layer 3 thin apple slices in a long strip. Roll strips together to form a little rose and place in the center.* Dice up 1 1/2 Tbsp of butter and dot the top of the tart with butter. Place pan over a foil lined baking sheet to catch stray apple juices then bake at 375˚F for 30 min.
Notes
- Choose to drizzle or discard apple syrup collected during mixing; drizzling may cause some juice leakage but won't impact flavor.
