Hello my dear readers! Do you have a favorite apple pie recipe? I have five of them. This is tender, with a filling of sour cream and a simple rustic apple pie from shortcrust pastry.

The last one on the list is a hit of all times and peoples. There are no "frills" in his recipe at all. However, for me this is one of the most delicious apple pies. It is also as democratic as you will let it be. If you want less sugar - be kind, if you want less butter and more sour cream - if you please, you intend to cook shortbread dough on goose lard, and not with butter - but who will forbid you? I tried to bake it this way and that - it is permanently successful, which cannot be said about its “brothers”. How much do you need to babysit, for example, with Flodni? Half a day, no less. And a rustic apple pie will come out of the oven an hour after the moment you thought to contact him.

Today is such a warm day that after the heat of the oven, I opened the door to the kitchen, and I myself went out onto the terrace. Across half the sky hung a two-story (it's a pity that this is not visible in the photo) rainbow and for a moment I thought I heard the chirping of cranes. I felt it, of course. It looks like my body really wants spring, so it “slips” such sounds to me along with real spring, aromas of awakening earth, smoke and first flowers that stir the insides. A neighbor's dog "leaked" through a gap in the fence.
I teach him Russian (his mistress is Dutch). The words "greaves" and "bone" he already understands perfectly. Today, he was interested in apple pie, judging by the nose leading the owner straight to the kitchen.

I, as always, started something in Kolomna, and continued in Buenos Aires. Looking ahead, I’ll say that the apple pie turned out this time too, although I added flour, added yolk and experimented with pork lard. We swept away most of the pie in the evening. True, they treated the “little brother” with such a corresponding name to the pie - Earl Grey! The doggie delicately ate a miniature piece and went home, so as not to excite the lovely hostess with the sweet euphonious name Helintj for a long absence.

Tanya and I have known each other for quite a long time. We met at a culinary project where we shared recipes. I like the way the girl writes, I like her humor, kindness and mouth-watering photos. And so, I found out that Tanya went to study at the Food School of Alexei Zimin. They learn the basics of French cuisine, talk about the right technologies baking and other dishes, sharing secrets.

French tart preparation

Hi all! In general, I went to study at the Alexei Zimin School of Food. He had taken students before (to Ragu's full-time school), but that was not possible for me. And now he has taken and opened a virtual school on the Internet. Well, I couldn't resist. I apologize in advance, but for the next three months I will be cooking only classic French cuisine. It's expensive and greasy. But definitely delicious and elegant. For this shortcrust pastry apple pie with filling, for example, I received a flurry of applause, praises and applause, and even one marriage proposal. And it's very easy to cook it.

Within three months I have to cook 97 dishes. This is one meal per day. Aaaaaaa. One new tech meal a day for me. Ahhh. I have video lectures by Alexey himself with his trademark humor and pedantry, and a mentor who answers my questions and evaluates my progress. He is a professional chef. To be honest, I just do not understand how I decided to get involved in this, but every day, despite the fear and fatigue, I live in impatience and euphoria. And learning.

This French apple tart is my first assignment. It was the first thing I made. The mentor said it turned out well, so feel free to share. Tart is of such quality that it is more correct to call it a cake and it is quite possible to sell it in a cafe. When it cooled down the next morning, I couldn't believe I had made it with my own hands. And there is nothing complicated. My apple tart turned out the first time.

Ingredients

• flour - 250 g
• almond flour (or powder) - 30 g. This flour is not very common with us. It is not sold in any supermarket, and is not very cheap. Unfortunately, nothing can replace it. She is the perfect flavor for this cake, one of the key ingredients. Well, I promised that it would be expensive. But your fame will pay off the cost.

How to cook tart with apples, recipe with photo

Here are all the ingredients. Pay attention to oil. Butter oil. Just what you need for apple tart.

Cooking shortcrust pastry for apple tart

And now the real life hack: it turns out that shortcrust pastry has a proportion of 3:2:1. It's flour, fat, sugar. And technology: first dry ingredients, then ice fat - to sand, then liquid, the less the better. And a minimum of hand warmth. That's all you need to know about shortcrust pastry. You no longer need other people's recipes.

I sifted the flour, along with the powder. So they are saturated with air, and gluten works better. Knead the dry ingredients, add ice cubes of butter.

On the pulsating mode of the combine, mixed until crumbs (sand). You can quickly grind with your hands in a bowl. The butter must not melt.

I added egg instead of liquid. It is necessary to knead in a bowl: kneading on the countertop was a mistake, thank God, not fatal. Received the dough, which is not photographed. The consistency is quite soft, not cool. I wrapped it in cling film, flattened it a little so that it cooled better, and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. During this hour, the gluten begins to work and bind this dough, and it works best in the refrigerator. That is why, by the way, many stand pancake dough in the refrigerator.

With cream, it's even easier. Whipped room temperature butter in a mixer with powder. The oil is slightly white. If you don't get it, then the cream is heavy. If interrupted, the oil is divided into fractions. So you need to beat for about 4 minutes, as soon as it turns white - stop.

Beat in almond powder and salt. Salt is needed in a small amount for depth of taste.

Beat very quickly into a thick filling. In the oven, it will take on a dense omelette.
The cream was covered with a film right on top, without air gaps, so as not to ventilate, and put it in the refrigerator for now.

Apple filling for tart

The last step is apples. Peeled apples.

Cut into quarters, peeled, cut into slices.

sprinkled lemon juice not to darken. Preparation is over.

Putting together a tart

Assembling apple pie from shortcrust pastry with almond filling. Oven at 195 degrees.
On a small amount of flour, I roll out the cooled dough. The less flour, the more tender and crumbly the cake.

I put the form upside down on top.

I turn the dough on it and remove the rug.

I lay the dough with my hands in the form of a mold, cut off the excess edges with a rolling pin.

I prick the bottom so that the shortbread dough does not bend or deform during the formation of vapors. I poke generously. Korzh is ready.

I spread the cream filling on the cake.

That's so smooth.

I spread apples beautifully. We need more apples, overlap. My sour filling turned out to be rather liquid, and the balance of taste shifted slightly towards sweetness. This was not an epic fail, but it could be improved.

Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top. Quite a bit - so that the sugar bakes beautifully, but does not kill the acid of the apples. The feature of this French tart with apples is just on the balance of delicate sweetness of dough with cream and malic acid. The cake went into the oven for 30 minutes (until golden brown).

French tart frosting

Preparing the glaze (optional, but aesthetic stage). I put the jam in a saucepan, add water.

I warm up with water.

When the cake is ready, I cover it with a brush with glaze, very carefully so as not to damage it. Pectin, which is contained in jam, thickens the icing beautifully and gives the cake a shine.

It turns out something like this. It must be eaten cold. Feels like an omelette when it's hot. But when he insists, the next day, you can eat your mind.

The main thing is to forget about the oil.

Bon appetit!

sand cake with apples is a combination of crumbly dough and fragrant juicy filling. It is good both with freshly brewed tea, and with coffee, milk, juice - in a word, it is suitable for any "company". Undoubtedly, pastries will be appropriate to look at holiday table, and will also become good option for breakfast or lunch. This recipe is the case when a real delicacy is quickly obtained from simple, affordable products.

Ingredients

The products used can be divided into those that are necessary for preparing the dough and those that will go into the filling. The basic ingredients of shortcrust pastry are butter, sugar and wheat flour. To them are added, depending on the recipe, sour cream, starch, nuts, cinnamon, vanillin.

In order to bake a crumbly airy pie with apples, it is important not only to select the required ingredients in the required volume, but also to observe the proportions and sequence of laying the products.

To prepare the dough you need:

• butter - 120 g;
• flour - 400 g;
• sugar - 80 g;
• sour cream - 120 g;
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon.

For filling:

• apples - 500 g (the weight of unpeeled fruits is indicated);
• lemon - 1 pc.;
• sugar - 3 tbsp. l.

Vegetable oil for greasing the mold.

Filling preparation

1. To prepare the filling, apples should be washed and peeled, then cut into thin plates.
2. To prevent them from turning dark, sprinkle the plates with lemon juice.

Lemon zest will help to add astringency and pleasant sourness of citrus fruits to the taste of the filling. ½ teaspoon of zest is enough.

Test preparation

pie baking

• For a change, you can add lingonberries or pears to the filling. So that the berries do not give drips and do not make the dough liquid, they should first be ground with sugar, and then added to the apple filling. Pears, like apples, are cut into slices.
• Can cook open pie, and instead of the top circle of dough, use egg whites whipped to peaks. You get a delicious tart.
• A pie with apples and pears made from shortcrust pastry is considered less high-calorie than a similar one on biscuit or yeast dough. Reduce calorie content by adding a minimum amount vegetable oil for mold lubrication. This can be done without pouring oil, but smearing it with a silicone brush over the mold.
• Powdered sugar can be used instead of sugar for a softer dough and filling texture. Cooking time may vary depending on the characteristics of the oven.

A dessert prepared at home with your own hands is always a great pleasure for the hostess, family and guests. A shortbread pie with apples is suitable for both a festive event and ordinary home gatherings with tea.

One of the advantages of such a dessert is that it is not too high in calories, so even people who are overweight or watching their waistline can treat themselves to it (within reasonable limits, of course).

Shortcrust pastry (Pate Sablee, “sable” - French) in terms of the degree of love for the sweet tooth goes right behind the yeast. This is due to the fact that it is very easy to prepare. In addition, on the basis of shortcrust pastry, you can bake cookies, cakes, tarts, quiches, rolls.

It is called so because at high temperatures it becomes crumbly, like sand. This is due to the fact that it contains a large amount of fat due to margarine or butter.

Shortbread dough is kneaded in, or using a spoon. It is better not to use manual kneading, as the dough turns into a more high-calorie and dense product and loses its friability.

When the confectioner starts molding saber products, he must check that the temperature of the air in the room, products and all accessories that come into contact with the dough is no more than 18-200 degrees.

Sweets are baked at +180 ° C until they become golden. The baking time depends on the size of the products and the type of oven.

Self-made shortcrust pastry can be frozen at home and put in the chamber. It must be used no later than 90 days.

Choosing a variety for a pie is a personal matter of taste for each person. Some people like sweet elastic apples, someone - with sourness.

But there are several criteria by which you can understand whether apples are suitable for filling or not.

1. Juicy fruits will not work. This kind of baking releases a lot of juice. Because of this, the dough may burn or be underbaked at the exit.
2. The apples should be firm when sliced ​​so that they don't turn into mush during the process. Varieties suitable for making a pie retain their appearance even when they exit the oven.
3. Fruit must retain its flavor.

Here the best varieties for baking.

1. Renet. Fruits of this type are perfect for pies. They have a sweetish taste with tart wine notes. Even when cooked, these juicy apples will not turn into porridge and will fill the room with aroma.
2. Khoroshavka winter. This variety is also called Jonathan. These are large, crunchy fruits with juicy pulp. They have a noble subtle sourness.
3. Golden Delicious. These are soft and sweet fruits. A small drawback - there is a chance that they will turn into a puree. Therefore, it is important to use this variety only in those recipes where the oven does not need to be baked for long.
4. Honey crisp. This variety, translated as "honey crunch", has a unique taste - bitter, similar to honey. Apples are very juicy and crispy.
5. Granny Smith. This Australian variety is characterized by a memorable aroma and a sweetish taste with a slight sourness. Granny Smiths are great for baking. However, for a more pronounced sweetness, confectioners recommend mixing this variety with Honey Crisp, for example.
6. Cortland. This variety has a balanced taste and pleasantly crunches on the teeth. These are very dense fruits that do not lose their shape in the oven. Pie with Cortland will turn out airy and unusually fragrant.
7. Gala. The fruits of this variety are known for their wonderful aroma, juiciness and interesting taste of caramel. By adding Gala apples to pastries, the hostess can even reduce the amount of sugar. The filling of such a pie will be tender, literally melt in your mouth. The shape of the apples will not change.
