Apfel Tarte
List of Ingredients
Dough:
2/3 cup + 3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons soft butter
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon apple cider
Topping:
4 apples
4 tablespoons sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons apple cider
5 - 6 tablespoons Cr�me fra�che
2 tablespoons chopped almonds or nuts (optional)
Recipe
Combine the ingredients for the dough until it's of a smooth texture. Wrap in foil and let rest (in the fridge) for 1 hour. Peel, core, and cut the apples into quarters. With a sharp knife cut each quarter apple in its round side several times lengthwise. Don't cut the apple all the way through. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice and apple cider. Pour over the prepared apples. Cover the apples and let them marinade for 1 hour.
Roll 2/3 - 3/4 of the dough out to a 9 inch round. Set into a 9 inch springform. Use the rest of the dough to create a small edge along the inner walls of the form. Using a fork punch tiny holes into the bottom of the unbaked crust. Bake at 350�F for 10 - 12 minutes. Place the apples in a sift or colander. Make sure to catch the escaping juice in a small bowl. Combine this juice with the Cr�me fra�che and stir well.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the baked crust. Arrange the apples on the crust round side showing upwards. Pour the Cr�me fra�che mixture over the apples. Bake at 350�F for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped almonds or nuts.
