Perfecta Tarta De Manzana Recipes

SPANISH STYLE APPLE CAKE: "TARTA DE MANZANA"

Steps:

• Peel and cut the apples in small pieces (if you use an immerse blender). If you have a powerful food processor you don't need to cut them that small.
• Add a bit of the milk and blend the apples until they almost become a compote
• Add the rest of the milk and sugar and keep blending
• Once it is all nicely pureed, add the flour, salt and cinnamon and mix using a whisk.
• Brush the cake pan with the butter or margarine and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
• Pour the batter into the pan and decorate with thin apple slices
• Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180ºC (356ºF) heat source up and down, for 50 minutes (it could take longer depending on the oven and the thickness of your cake).
• Once out of the oven, it is time to "paint it". Mix the fruit jam with water to make it more runny and brush the cake to make it shiny.
• Let the cake cool down to room temperature and then store it in the fridge for at least 1 hour
• Take the cake out, slice and enjoy!

TARTA DE MANZANA (APPLE TART)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Peel, core and slice apples.
• Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and place in a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any pastry that hangs over the edges.
• Arrange apple slices in pastry shell; pour lemon juice over apples.
• Place tart in its pan on a cookie sheet and place on middle oven rack.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, covering pastry edges with foil if browning too quickly.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cool for 10 minutes.
• Spread apricot jam over tart to glaze (have jam at room temperature or warm it slightly - this will make it easier to spread).
