Toffee Apple Tart
« on: August 24, 2009, 11:45:01 am »
Made this up at the weekend and it seemed to go down well.

Pastry
2 oz butter
4oz flour
small handful demerara sugar
cinnamon
egg yolk
splash water
lemon zest

Toffee sauce
3oz butter
6oz demerera
splash double cream
desert spoon black treacle

Apples, peeled and sliced (tart eaters rather than Bramleys)
More demerera
Cinnamon

Method
Rub butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest to breadcrumb stage.
Stir in egg yolk and bind with additional splash of water if needed.
Line flan tin
Blind bake 10 mins or so till golden and crisp, don't burn.

In saucepan melt butter, sugar and balck treacle. Then add splash of double crem.
Boil for 5-10 mins stirring so as not to burn.
Leave to cool, should be thick and maleable when cool.

Spread cooled sauce in bottom of cooled pastry case.

Not too thinly slice the apples and layer around tart in circles, I did a couple of layers as had loads of apples and was nice to have those extra layers.
Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Bake in moderate over for 15-20 mins until apples are soft.

Serve warm. We served with Greek yogurt as it cut through the sweetness well but vanilla ice cream would have been nice if I could have been bothered to make some.

Hope you like it.
