Grandma's Favorite Apple Tart
We have all heard of the classic apple and pumpkin pies but what about an apple tart? This recipe is for a rustic apple tart served with a yummy caramel sauce.
Prep Time 1 hour hr
Cook Time 1 hour hr
Oven
Mixing Bowl
Cooking Pan
Knife and/or Apple Corer
- 1 Package Pre-Made Pie Dough
- 4 Granny Smith Apples
- 1.4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (20 grams)
- 3/4 Cup White Sugar
- 2 Cups Apple Juice
- 1/2 Cup Caramel
- 1 Pint Vanilla Ice Cream
- Pinch Cardamon
Peel, core and quarter your apples, thinly slice the apple quarters, setting aside the end pieces and roughly chopping those for about ½ cup of chopped apple pieces.
Place peel and cores in a pan and set aside.
Arrange the apple slices in a circle on the crust, slightly overlapping, 4cm in from the pastry edge.
Spread chopped apple inside the circle, then arrange remaining slices in concentric circles on top, working towards the centre and overlapping slightly so there aren't any gaps.
Fold pastry edge over to create a crust, pressing to seal. Chill for 15 minutes.
Make Caramel Sauce
Meanwhile, add your apple juice and ½ cup of sugar to the pan with peels and cores. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, then strain to separate from the solids.
Return to pan and simmer for a further 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until syrupy.
Stir in your caramel and keep warm.
Pour your sauce over the top of your tart and serve with icecream!
