Quince Crumble Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle; fit into a tart pan. Trim edges flush with pan. Prick dough lightly with a fork and freeze until firm, 15 minutes.
• Reserve 1 tablespoon membrillo; mash remainder with 1 teaspoon water until spreadable. Using an offset spatula, spread evenly over dough in pan. Shingle apples over top. Brush with 1 tablespoon butter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until pastry is golden and apples are browned and tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium, heat reserved membrillo with 1 tablespoon water and remaining 1 tablespoon butter, stirring often, until smooth.
• Remove tart from oven; brush apples with glaze. Return to oven; bake until apples just darken in spots and caramelize, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely before slicing. (Tart can be stored, loosely covered, at room temperature up to 1 day.) Serve with almonds, grapes, and cheese.

Steps:

• Wash lemons under cold water and dry well. Thinly peel 2 lemons and juice them. Fill a pot with cold water and add lemon juice and lemon peel.
• Peel quinces and remove core. Cut into small pieces and immediately drop into the pot with lemon water so they don't turn brown. Add cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinces are easily pierced with a knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain and remove and discard lemon peel and cinnamon stick.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Zest and juice remaining lemon. Mix cooked quinces, lemon juice, lemon zest, white sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Pour into a baking dish and level out.
• Combine butter, flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt in a bowl. Rub between your fingers to create streusel topping. Sprinkle streusel evenly over fruit.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crumble is lightly browned, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread the quince wedges in an 8-inch square baking dish, and add the sugar and bay leaves. Sprinkle with the ginger, and add just enough water to cover. Bake until the quinces are tender and the juices are rose-red, about 2 hours.
• Pour most of the liquid from the baking dish into a heat-proof container, and reserve for another use (like flavoring drinks or desserts). Discard bay leaves.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, rub the butter and 2 cups flour together until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs, adding more flour if it seems too moist. Mix in the brown sugar, and add oats, if using. Spread evenly on top of the quinces and bake until the top is browned, about 40 minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with heavy cream, if you'd like.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the quinces and apple juice. Place cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add to pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until quinces are crisp-tender., Uncover; simmer 8-12 minutes longer or until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons. Discard spice bag. Cool for 5 minutes., Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Gently stir in quince mixture. Spoon into crust. , For topping, in a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. , Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to grease a 2-quart ovenproof dish. Melt the remaining butter and let cool.
• Peel and core the apples and the quince. Cut them into 14-inch slices and toss with the lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a large bowl. Gently fold in the blackberries. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle 3 tablespoons water over the top.
• In another bowl, stir together the remaining brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Drizzle the melted butter over the dry ingredients and use a fork to blend. Sprinkle evenly on top of the apple mixture and bake until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes and serve warm with cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, combine 10 cups water and 1 cup sugar. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from 1/2 lemon, and add to the pot. Halve the lemons, and juice 1 1/2 of them directly into the pot; set the other half aside.
• Peel, halve, and core the quince, and add to the pot. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, but not completely cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 10-inch tarte Tatin pan or cast-iron skillet, combine remaining 3/4 cup sugar and the salt. Place over medium heat, and cook until it begins to thicken and turn a golden brown. Remove from heat, and stir in butter.
• Arrange the quince in the pan, cut sides up, in a slightly overlapping circular pattern. (Remember that since the tarte Tatin is inverted after it is cooked, the fruit on the bottom will be visible when served.) Place a few quince halves in the center, cut side up. Sprinkle with the juice of the remaining lemon half.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough out into a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Place dough over quince, tucking the edges of the dough around the fruit. Bake until juices are bubbling and crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand for 10 minutes. Using a paring knife, loosen the pastry from the edges of the pan. Place a serving platter over the pan, and carefully invert. Serve warm.
