  • Mini-Apple Tart

    [ATTACH]28367[/ATTACH]

    [ATTACH]28368[/ATTACH]

    Here's a fun little dessert that I made recently. It's a mini apple tart with sea salt caramel ice cream. It's really pretty and tastes great too. I made the tart shells and blind baked them. I made pastry cream that went inside the shell then thin sliced apples. I added a little sugar and honey to some water along with lemon juice, brought it to a boil then removed it from the heat. I dropped the apples in for about 5 minutes then removed to a paper towel. Placed three apples slightly overlapping and rolled them up. Each one went in to the shell with the cream. I put the water mixture back on the stove and reduced it to a syrup and brushed the tops of the apples. I made the ice cream using a basic custard base but used brown sugar instead of white. Whipped up a quick caramel sauce. Sprinkled a little Fleur de sel on top.

                      wow - doesn't look that mini, how big were they ?

                      Did you core the apples before slicing ?

                      And welcome back - was just wondering the other day what you were up to.
                      pm me your current phone number, the one I;ve got has to be 7 or 8 years old.

                      :-)

                        Alex!!! The tarts were 4 inches. I did core them first. And my phone number hasn't changed in 15 years. I'm working for a guy that is from across the pond. I can't remember exactly where, but you know how much I love me a limey!

                        Thanks everyone for the points and nice comments. Craig, that picture makes the tart look huge, but it's only four inches. TRUST me, I know what 4 inches is!
