How to make apple tart - general cooking principles
French apple pie is not so difficult to prepare, the main thing is to understand the principle and take into account some of the nuances.
- The base of the tart is a shortbread cake. The principle of mixing shortcrust pastry is to quickly grind flour and butter into crumbs. You can do this with your hands or chop with a knife.
- Then the dough is intensively kneaded with liquid components: eggs and ice water. If you knead it for a long time, then the heat of your hands will soften the oil and begin to melt. The cake will come out tight and non-crumbly.
- It is recommended after kneading the dough, it must be cooled for half an hour so that the slightly melted butter will solidify again.
- The classic apple slices are thin slices or slices. Spread them over the surface of the dough or cover the pre-laid fruit slices.
- Sometimes chopped apples are stewed in powdered sugar or glaze before laying.
- Various products are often added to the filling: honey, raisins, nuts, cinnamon, lemon, ginger, chocolate.
- The product is baked in an oven at t180 ° C.
- A wide variety of fillings are possible: raw apples in slices or grated, stewed apples, apple jam or jam. There are recipes where grated apples are added to the dough. Also, the apple filling is complemented with creams, marzipan, cottage cheese, praline.
- The tart is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
