Caramel Apple Tart is a delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of caramel with the tartness of apples. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests. To make this mouth-watering dessert, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 4 medium-sized apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
To make the filling, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they are slightly softened. Add the sugar and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is caramelized. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
Pour the filling into the baked crust and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set. Let the tart cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
This Caramel Apple Tart is a perfect combination of sweet and tart flavors. The crust is buttery and flaky, while the filling is rich and creamy with a caramelized apple flavor. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
