Apple Tart With Raspberry Glaze
Apple tarts were a special treat when i was growing up, and now i've made this recipe my own. I like to use a shortbread crust and glaze the apples with raspberry jam to make them rosy.
Steps
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the flour , sugar and salt for the crust.
Coat the butter in the flour mixture and slice into small pieces.
For those of us without pastry cutting devices , rub the butter between your fingers with one hand while sprinkling flour on it with the other to create smaller and smaller butter chunks.
Continue for a few minutes until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the yolk of one egg , and blend until the dough sticks together.
If the dough is not sticky enough , add a teaspoon of water and try again.
Roll the dough out in between 2 layers of wax paper.
Then carefully flip it onto a tart pan.
Sprinkle some flour on the bottom of the crust to help absorb juice from the apples.
Peel and cut the apples into 1 / 4 inch slices.
Arrange in concentric circles over the crust , overlapping like a fan.
Sprinkle the sugar , cinnamon and ginger over the apples.
If you are using really tart apples , you may want to add an extra tbspn sugar.
