A warm slice of apple tart with coffee or better still, topped with vanilla ice cream- I couldn't think of a better way to catch up with friends. In the past, I've tried to make a simple version of an apple tart and succeeded reasonably well.
But when I recently had the opportunity to watch my Le Cordon Bleu, Paris trained daughter Neha Singh making this classic 30 minute apple tart from scratch, I knew that I was going to learn a lot.
And I was right...
In the oven- Neha's 30 min classic apple tart |
Starting with rolling the all purpose flour mixed with some butter to make the pastry from scratch, she popped the ball into the freezer to chill for about 15 minutes while she got the other ingredients ready.
Lining the tart case and trimming off the edges |
This was then blind baked for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven after adding some beans to ensure that the case baked as close to perfection as possible.
Filled and almost ready to bake |
Layered over with finely sliced apples |
Baked till golden brown for 30 mins |
We had people coming over that day and Neha had yet another treat in store- a Passion fruit and raspberry pie which had been made the previous evening and left to chill in the refrigerator.
But that's another story ...for another post.....
Memories are made of this |
