About Reine des Reinettes Gourmande® apples

French excellence. Picking them requires ancestral know-how which entails a real sterling job, because they are harvested in 7 stages over the course of two months. Faced with low yields and a demanding production method, this apple almost disappeared. Brought together by their love for the Reine des Reinettes Gourmande® variety, a handful of enthusiasts have succeeded in keeping this unique and authentic pleasure alive to provide consumers with a most delicate apple. Lovers of quality French apples have been enjoying it for generations.

Ingredients

FOR THE SWEET PASTRY:

  • 100 g butter
  • 80 g icing sugar
  • 40 g egg
  • 200 g flour

FOR THE TASTY GRANNY® APPLE SAUCE: 

  • 4 Tasty Granny® apples (600 g when peeled)
  • 60 g sugar

CRISPY ALMOND TOPPING:

  • 50 g egg white
  • 50 g sugar
  • 50 g flaked almonds

Preparation

Place the diced butter in a bowl and soften it in the microwave.

Then cream the butter and icing sugar together. Add the eggs at room temperature and whisk.

Then add the flour and mix using a wooden spoon. Knead the pastry into a square.

Place the pastry on cling film and seal it. Finally, using a rolling pin, flatten the dough evenly and set aside in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Peel the 5 apples and dice them.

Then fry the diced apples in the butter and sugar over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until you obtain a compote.

Form the pastry into a ball and kneed it using a rolling pin.

Once flattened, prick the pastry using a fork, then turn it out into a tart tin or pastry ring, and line the tin.

Flatten the excess dough using the rolling pin. Repeat the step a second time, if your pastry doesn’t fall out of the ring, it’s a success!

Add the cold compote to the tart and flatten the edges slightly.

Pour in the egg whites and sugar, and mix.

Once the mixture has been blanched, add the flaked almonds, and mix.

Spread the mixture evenly over the compote.

Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes at 170°C.

You can add a few pieces of Tasty Granny® apple sprinkled with icing sugar.
Now all you have to do is dig in!
