These Apple Tart is a delicious dessert, made up of a fragrant vanilla and lemon short crust pastry, filled with a delicate apple compote and a vanilla custard.
Apple Tart with Apple Jam and Custard
The apple and custard tart is a true classic among homemade desserts, it is easy to prepare since the ingredients are normally present at home. Excellent as a breakfast cake, but also as a delicious dessert. The Apple Tart With Apple Jam And Custard is a variant of the tart with apple jam and cream, a true classic among homemade desserts in Italy. Instead of using raw apples, I prepared a simple apple compote using only vanilla, in order to enhance the taste and sweetness of the apples. The cream is a normal custard and the pastry is always flavoured with vanilla and lemon peel.
I made the apple compote with the apples I had available at the time, but if you want, you can choose your favourite apples to prepare it.
Given the quantities prepared, I was able to prepare two medium-sized ones. A low one decorated with the classic grid and a high one covered with a thin, pie-style pastry disk. They are both very good, but the tall one, given the greater amount of filling, is really super tasty. In both cases, if you serve the apple and jam tart as a dessert, you can accompany it with a scoop of vanilla or “Fior di Latte” ice cream to make it even more special.
How do you Make Apple Tart Recipe From Scratch
Start by preparing the custard, once ready pour it into a bowl or baking dish and cover it in contact with kitchen film so that it does not oxidize on the surface. This creates the classic skin, which will then lead to lumps. Cut the fresh apples into small pieces and put them in a pot with all the other ingredients and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Once cooked, put it to cool.
Prepare the shortcrust pastry, form a fountain with the flour, put the cold butter into small pieces in the centre and start working it with the flour. Once crumbled, reform the fountain and put the eggs, vanilla and grated lemon peel in the centre and mix everything. If the pasta is too dry, you can add 2 Tbsp of cold water. Leave to rest for 30 minutes in the fridge.
In the meantime, soak the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes then drain and put them in the liqueur (rum, brandy or whatever you prefer).
Roll out the pastry, butter and flour it and line it with the pastry. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and squeeze the raisins.
Spread a first layer of apple compote, sprinkle the raisins on the compote and spread a layer of cream. With the remaining dough, create a decoration on the tart, and bake for 25 minutes. Once cooked, turn it out of the mould and let it cool on a rack. Let it cool completely before serving, or serving the Apple Tart hot with a spoonful of ice cream.
