My tips for making your fine apple tart a success

cut apples in thin strips : avoid slices that are too thick to allow them to cook well (and then be tender). You can see the thickness of my apples in my photos.
cover generous amount of caramel : this is what will give the good caramelized taste to the apples, so load your brush well before cooking (but also after cooking).
for golden pie, if necessary, use the grill at the end of cooking: once the apples are cooked, the grill is used to finish browning the tart.

How to enjoy fine apple pie?

This fine apple pie is eaten on its own, which is how I appreciate it the most (and my tribe too). For the greediest, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream…

She is better at room temperature, so I advise you to leave it out of the refrigerator and consume it in 3-4 days.

Cook time35

Recipe type: Dessert, Snack

Cuisine: French

Keyword: Tarte

Yield: 6 people

Equipment:

Perforated baking tray

Ingredients:

1 puff pastry round or rectangular
4/5 apples which stand up to cooking: Elstar, Pink Lady, Golden…

Salted butter caramel coulis

200 g granulated sugar
1 cs water
80 g salted butter
180 g heavy whipping cream 30%
Sea salt

Instructions:

Salted butter caramel coulis

In a saucepan, melt the powdered sugar and water over medium heat. Separately, heat the liquid cream in the microwave then pour it over the caramel obtained. The caramel will harden but you have to keep mixing, it will melt.
Finish by adding the diced butter and two pinches of fleur de sel. Continue to mix until you get a smooth coulis.

Assembling the pie

Preheat the oven to 200 ° traditional heat.
Unroll the puff pastry on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mark the dough with a knife 1cm from the edge (without cutting entirely). Prick the dough with a fork.
Peel, core and slice the apples fairly thinly (2/3mm). Arrange the slices on the dough, line by line.
With a pastry brush, generously coat the apples with the salted butter caramel coulis. It should still be liquid. If not, reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave.
Bake for around 30 minutes. If necessary at the end of cooking, add 2 minutes under the grill so that it is golden brown.
Remove from oven, add salted butter caramel coulis with a teaspoon, making zig-zags on top of the pie. Serve warm or cold.
NB: if you have any salted butter caramel left, keep it in a small closed jar in the refrigerator. It keeps for several weeks (perfect on crêpes, pancakes, etc.)

Notes:

*If you don't want to make your caramel coulis yourself, you can find some on the market. Prefer the shortest list of ingredients, it will be better.

*This fine tart can be kept at room temperature for around 3-4 days, ideally in an airtight bell jar.
