Apple And Plum Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, walnuts, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter and the egg yolk. Mix, either by hand or with an electric mixer, until crumbly.
• Press 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture in an even layer into the bottom of a 9 1/2-inch springform or tart pan. Arrange the plums in the pan, skin side down, to form a flower pattern; begin at the outside and work your way in.
• Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture evenly over the plums. Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it's lightly browned and the plum juices are bubbling. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer the tart to a flat plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Toss apple in lemon juice to prevent browning. Stir together butter and vanilla. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin till doubled in size. Cut into 4 squares. Transfer carefully to parchment-lined baking sheet, with room to expand between each sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the center of each square top with apples and plums, alternating, into a spiral. Fold in puff pastry, to form a crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Place on the center rack of the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. In a small sauce pan cook apricot jam and water till smooth and syrupy. Remove tarts from the oven and cool slightly before brushing with apricot syrup. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
