Apple tart
Apple tart is a type of tart or pie, typically made with apples, sugar, butter, pastry and cinnamon. It is a popular dessert in many countries and is often served with ice cream, custard or cream.
The earliest known recipe for apple tart dates back to 1381, in England. The recipe, which was discovered in a cookbook titled Forme of Cury, calls for apples to be stewed with sugar and spices, then encased in pastry.
Over the centuries, the apple tart recipe has evolved and been adapted by cooks all over the world. Today, there are endless variations of the dish, from classic French apple tarts to Italian crostata di mele.
Advice
Making apple tart can be a great way to enjoy a tasty dessert. To make the best apple tart, start by preheating your oven and preparing your tart shell. Then, peel and core your apples and cut into thin slices. Put the apples into an oven-safe dish and sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place the tart shell over the apples and crimp the edges. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the tart shell is golden brown. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for the perfect apple tart experience.
