Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 125 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 200 grams cream cheese (softened)
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples (firm, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 20 grams butter (for caramelizing apples)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam (optional, for glazing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan and trim the edges. Poke the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake the tart shell in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely before filling.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream gently to create the cream filling.
Spread the cream filling evenly into the cooled tart shell and set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, and sauté until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Arrange the caramelized apple slices on top of the cream filling in an overlapping pattern.
If desired, heat the apricot jam until smooth and brush it lightly over the apples for a glossy finish.
Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice and enjoy your Apple Cream Party Tart!
