🍎 Ingredients:
✔️ 250 g rice flour
✔️ 50 g cornstarch
✔️ 125 g very cold lightly salted butter
✔️ 30 g cane sugar
✔️ 1 kg Cox's Orange Pippin or Reinette d'Armorique apples
✔️ 10 g lightly salted butter
✔️ 20 g light brown sugar
👨🍳 Preparation:
- Cut the butter into cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch, add the diced butter and 30 g of sugar, mix with your fingertips and add a little water to form a smooth dough.
- Form into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough, knead again if necessary, then roll out, place in a pie dish, and prick the bottom and edges with a fork. Refrigerate.
- Set aside 2 to 3 nice apples for garnishing.
- Peel, core, and cut the other apples into pieces.
- Place the apple pieces in a saucepan with a little water, without adding sugar. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes over low heat.
- Blend or mash them.
- While the compote is cooking, peel, core, and slice the rest of the apples into rounds, as shown in the photo. Peel, core, and cut the other apples into pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 210°C.
- Pour the compote onto the pie crust, smooth it out, and arrange the apple slices in a spiral pattern.
- Melt the butter with the sugar. Using a brush, coat the tart with this mixture.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 210°C, then lower the temperature to 180°C and continue baking for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the baking.
- Serve warm or cold.
