Apple And Rosemary Tart Recipes

MINI ROSE APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cubed butter using a pastry blender, 2 knives, or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until dough just comes together into a ball.
• Form the dough into a disc. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with butter.
• Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a well floured surface. Cut out nine 3 1/2-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or floured glass. Press rounds into the muffin tin, pushing dough up the sides in the shape of a cup. Transfer to the refrigerator.
• Core apples by slicing around the core on 4 sides. Cut apples into very thin half moons using a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Toss apple slices with lemon juice in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl; pour over apples and toss to combine. Microwave apples until pliable enough to roll, about 1 minute.
• Lay 10 apple slices in a horizontal line on a flat work surface with the skin side facing you; arrange slices so that each slice overlaps the previous slice by half. Roll up the slices tightly from one end to the other. Arrange 2 to 8 additional slices around the outside of each apple rose to reach desired size. Repeat with remaining slices to form 8 more apple roses.
• Combine remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl; brush over the bottom of each dough cup. Place an apple rose in each cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dough turns golden and apples are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Pour strawberry preserves into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until liquid, about 30 seconds. Brush preserves over each apple rose.

APPLE AND ROSEMARY TART

Steps:

• For the Pastry:.
• Place the flour and salt in a good sized bowl.
• Add the butter bit by bit and blend till the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Add the water bit by bit until the dough forms a ball.
• Wrap in cling-film and let the dough sit at room temperature for one hour.
• Note: The dough can be frozen and then, when you want it, thaw in the refrigerator.
• Note 2: The dough can be made in a food processor or a stand mixer, but do not over-mix.
• Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out into a 14" circle.
• Roll the pastry around your rolling pin and un-roll in a 9 1/2", removable-bottom tart tin, with the edges of the pastry overlapping evenly all around.
• Gently fit the pastry against the sides of the tin.
• Make the Filling:.
• Mince the rosemary.
• Place half the apples in the tart tin.
• Sprinkle with half the sugar and all the rosemary.
• Top with the remaining apples and the remaining sugar.
• Bring the edges of the crust up and over the apples--it will partially cover the top of the tart.
• Whisk together the egg and the water and brush the exposed pastry with the wash (you won't need much--use the rest for a tiny omelette.
• Place the tart tin on a cookie sheet and bake in the lower third of the oven until the pastry is golden and the apples are softened and juicy, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the tart tin on an over-turned bowl to remove the sides.
• Let the tart cool to lukewarm or room temperature before serving.

APPLE-ROSEMARY TART

Steps:

• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour; have ready a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Roll one disk of dough to an 11-inch circle, with an 1/8-inch thickness. Roll dough around rolling pin, and unroll over tart pan. Using your fingers, gently press dough into pan. Trim any excess dough flush with the edges of the pan, and chill 30 minutes.
• Line a baking pan with parchment. Roll remaining disk of dough to an 1/8-inch thickness. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut into 10 3/4-by-12-inch strips. Transfer strips to pan, and chill 30 minutes.
• Peel, core, and cut each apple into 16 wedges. Place wedges in medium bowl; toss with lemon juice and rosemary. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples; toss to coat.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line crust with a 12-inch circle of parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until crust starts to take on color, about 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees; continue baking until crust has cooked through, about 7 minutes.
• Fill crust with apple mixture, and dot with butter. Using chilled strips of dough, weave lattice pattern over top.
• Bake until lattice crust has slightly browned and apples are tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven; transfer to a wire rack to cool. Decorate with glazed walnuts.

TARTE TATIN WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a 10-inch cast iron frying pan over medium heat. Melt sugar, butter, rosemary, and cinnamon together in the hot pan, stirring constantly, until syrup is a rich caramel color, about 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Add apple slices, arranging them in a decorative swirl starting from the outside edges of the pan, rounded sides-down, as tart will be turned upside-down when served. Simmer, uncovered, until apples are slightly tender yet firm, about 10 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
• Trim corners of puff pastry to form a 10-inch circle. Place pastry over apples and push down between apples and the edge of the pan using the tip of a knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden and puffed, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Loosen the edges of the tart from the pan using a knife. Invert a serving plate over the pan and then, holding the pan and plate together firmly, invert them together. Lift off the pan. Cut tart into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

VINTAGE CHEDDAR, APPLE AND ROSEMARY TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the leek and fry, for 5 minutes, or until softened.
• Remove to a bowl and add the rosemary, vinegar, and apple slices. Toss to combine, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Roll the pastry out into a rectangle. Spread the creme fraiche over the pastry, leaving a 4 cm border.
• Sprinkle half the cheddar over the creme fraiche, scatter with the apple mix, top with the remaining cheddar. Fold the pastry border over.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and the puff pastry is well cooked.

APPLE AND ROSEMARY TARTE

Steps:

• Make the pastry:
• Place the flour and salt in a food processor, and process to mix. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. With the food processor running, slowly add the water and process just until it is combined and the mixture is crumbly. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a ball. Let the pastry sit, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Lightly flour a work surface, and roll out the pastry to a 14-inch circle. Roll the pastry around the rolling pin and unroll it in a 9 1/2 inch, removable bottom tart tin, with the edges of the pastry overlapping evenly all around. Gently fit the pastry against the sides of the tart tin.
• Make the filling:
• Mince the rosemary. Place half the apple slices in the pastry, sprinkle with half the sugar and the rosemary. Top with the remaining apples and the remaining sugar. Bring the edges of the pastry up and over the apples- they won't completely cover the apples, which is fine.
• Make the egg wash:
• Whisk together the egg and the water, and brush the pastry with the mixture. Place the tart tin on a baking sheet, and bake in the lower third of the oven until the pastry is golden and the apples are softened and juicy, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place the tart tin on an upturned bowl to remove the sides. Let the tart cool to lukewarm, or room temperature,then serve.
