How to prepare Apple Crumble Tart Step-by-Step
To bake a tart that looks and tastes like one baked in a bakery but that feels like one baked by your mother, follow this procedure closely.
Step 1: Prepare the Tart Crust
Combine sugar, salt and flour in a large bowl.
Add the cold cubes of butter and rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips or pastry cutter until the mixture has a breadcube texture.
Add the yolk of the egg and ice water until the dough is formed.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat and Ready the Oven
Warm your oven to 350 degrees of C.
Butter a 9 inch tart pan and flour it a little.
Step 3: Roll Out the Crust
Get the cold dough out of the refrigerator.
Roll it into a circle on a lightly floured surface that is big enough to roll into your tart pan.
Fold the dough to the pan and push the dough into the sides. Trim any excess dough.
To avoid puffing, prick the bottom with a fork.
Bake the crust about 10 minutes to partially bake. Take away and allow to cool a little.
Step 4: Apple filling is ready.
Peel, cube and cut the apples into thin slices.
Put them into a bowl and combine them with sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour. Toss until the apples are evenly covered with the coating.
Pour the mixture of the apples evenly on the semi-baked tart top.
Step 5: Crunchy Topping.
In the other bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and pinch of salt.
Pour the melted butter on top of the mixture and mix until crumbs appear.
Scatter the crumble mixture evenly over the apple filling.
Step 6: Bake the Tart
You can put the tart in the oven and bake it 40-45 minutes until the topping turns golden brown and the apples are soft and bubbling.
Take out of the oven and allow to cool a little before serving.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or even custard as an old-fashioned garnish.
Savor the correct ratio of acidic, sweet, and crisp in each bite.
