This Apple Tart Recipe Is From 5 Ingredients Mediterranean Cookbook by Jamie Oliver.
Ingredients Needed:
- 320g sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry (cold)
- 200g apricot jam
- 4 eating apples
- 1 tablespoon flaked almonds
- Vanilla ice cream, to serve
How To Make Apple Tart:
- Preheat the oven and prepare the pastry: Preheat your oven to 200°C. Unroll the puff pastry sheet on its baking paper and place it on a baking tray. Score a 1cm border around the edges of the pastry without cutting all the way through.
- Loosen the apricot jam: Heat the apricot jam in a small pan over low heat for about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally until it loosens.
- Slice the apples: Very finely slice the apples into rounds, removing any seeds. If you have a mandolin, use it for thin, even slices.
- Toss and arrange the apples: Toss the sliced apples in the warm apricot jam, then neatly layer them inside the pastry border, tucking any smaller or uneven pieces underneath.
- Bake the tart: Place the tart on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and fully cooked. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top for the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Serve: Slice the tart and serve it warm, topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Recipe Tips
- Keep the pastry cold: Cold puff pastry will rise better and become more flaky and golden. Keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
- Thinly slice the apples: Thin, even slices ensure the apples cook evenly and get tender without becoming mushy.
- Loosen the jam carefully: Warm the apricot jam gently, just enough to make it spreadable. Overheating the jam can make it too runny and affect the tart’s texture.
- Score the pastry correctly: When scoring the 1cm border, don’t cut all the way through. This helps the edges rise while keeping the center flat.
- Add almonds last: Scatter the flaked almonds in the last 5 minutes of baking to avoid them burning while still giving them a nice, toasted flavor.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
Storing in the Fridge: Place leftover apple tart in an airtight container or cover it with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: You can freeze the tart for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in foil or place it in a freezer-safe container.
Best Reheated: Reheat the tart in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-10 minutes to restore the crispness of the pastry.
Avoid microwaving, as it may make the pastry soggy.
