To make this Spiced Apple Crumble Tart with Vanilla Cream, 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 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon ice water

For the filling:

- 4 cups thinly sliced apples
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the crumble topping:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

For the vanilla cream:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and sugar for the crust. 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. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix well and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender.
For the crumble topping, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
To assemble the tart, spread the apple filling evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
While the tart is baking, prepare the vanilla cream. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Once the tart is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving with a dollop of vanilla cream on top.
This Spiced Apple Crumble Tart with Vanilla Cream is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The warm spices in the apple filling are complemented by the buttery crumble topping and the creamy vanilla filling.
