1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
360g flour
Mold diameter: 26 cm
Cream Ingredients:
1 egg
3 tablespoons sugar (60g)
3 tablespoons starch (50g)
Grated peel of half a lemon
2 large cups of milk (360ml)
1 tablespoon butter (20g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
To Decorate:
3-4 apples
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon apricot jam or honey
The dough strip measures 2.5 cm
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the oil and melted butter, and mix until well combined.
Sift in the baking powder and flour, and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Roll out the dough and press it into a 26 cm tart mold. Trim any excess dough and save it for the decorative strips.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the Lemon Cream:
In a saucepan, whisk together the egg and sugar until well combined.
Add the starch and grated lemon peel, and mix well.
Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and lemon juice. Let the cream cool slightly.
Assemble the Tart:
Pour the lemon cream into the prepared tart crust and spread it evenly.
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Arrange the apple slices over the lemon cream in a decorative pattern.
Roll out the reserved dough and cut into 2.5 cm strips.
Arrange the strips over the apples in a lattice pattern.
Bake the Tart:
Brush the apples and lattice strips with a mixture of sugar and lemon juice.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
Finish and Serve:
While the tart is still warm, brush the apples with apricot jam or honey for a glossy finish.
Let the tart cool before serving.
Enjoy!
