Maple Apple Tart [by Tammy]

Sep 29, 2013 · 20 Comments

“But then fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.”
– Stephen King

At last Autumn has finally set in.  My favorite time of year.

I’ve probably done the most baking in the last couple of days than I have all year.  It’s been glorious.

I love the taste of pumpkin and cinnamon.  Those orange and gold sunsets that take your breath away.  The smell of fireplaces burning at night.  The sound of leaves rattling along the sidewalk.  My favorite knit sweater…these are just a few of my favorite things.  Oh, yes and Halloween!

To get into the spirit of things, I’m preparing a warm apple tart with sweet notes of maple today.  So if you’re feeling the winter blues already setting in because summer came and went all too quickly, this will surely lift you from those early doldrums.

You won’t be able to resist smiling while the aroma of baked apples and spice warms the air.

Enjoy lovelies.

Maple Apple Tart

For Tart Shell you will need:

2 cups AP flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup confestioner’s sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1 egg
Pinch of salt

For Maple Apple Filling:

Approximately 5 small apples – peeled, cored and cubed
1/4 cup brown sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream
2 egg yolks

Combine all ingredients for the tart shell.  Wrap in plastic or place in a air tight baggie.  Refrigerate and rest of at least 2 hours.

On floured parchment, roll out the dough and line within a tart pan.  Trim the edges and then place in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Blind bake the tart shell for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, mix apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.  Sprinkle the crust with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and place the apples over it.  Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.

In a bowl, beat sour cream, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and vanilla.  Pour the mixture over the apples and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the filling has set.

Serve warm.

Toodles,
Tammy

      Thanks for stopping by, Dave! So good to hear from you...it does sound complicated but it really isn't. I've actually made this twice already. Most of the time is just letting the dough rest. I hope you give it a try soon!

    I am so glad to have found you in Blogland. I love food, you know. I've got Italian American blood in my genes. So, I love good food for sure.
    May I taste your great recipes? I shall return to read more of your posts. Well, a bit about me, I am Starry, a Christian mom and grandmother

    I hope you visit some of my blogs, and even follow, if you wish to. I am impressed by the way you describe your good recipes. I love veggies and fruits.
    I also love the Fall Season with the special colours that it brings, especially the leaves which decorate our lawn so gracefully. I love animals and nature.
    Well, that is all for today. I'll be back some other day, sweetheart. God may bless you all! Greetings from Poet Starry Dawn.

    I'm a huge huge fan of fall myself! Around here, it's been kinda hot this weekend, not perfect for baking but I know there will be plenty of time next weekends! I will surely bake your pie, it looks really really good!
