Werthers Original Caramel Apple Tart Recipe 43

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 2. Lay the puff pastry on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. If the pastry has creases in it, roll a rolling pin over it to flatten it out slightly. Cut a large disk from the pastry (it will be about 9 - 10 inch in diameter) using a dinner plate for a pattern. Prick the surface all over with a fork, well. 3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes till golden brown on top. Set aside. 4. Meanwhile, cut each apple into 8 wedges. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally 10 minutes or until apples begin to soften. Reduce heat to low and cook an additional 5 minutes or until apples are cooked through. Remove apples from skillet and set aside. 5. Add the cinnamon and caramels to skillet and melt over low heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Return apples to skillet and fold them into the melted caramel. 6. Spoon the warm apple mixture over cooked pastry. Tart is best when served the same day.

Steps:

• For caramel sauce:.
• Bring sugar, cream, and butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until sugar dissolves. Boil until caramel thickens enough to coat spoon thickly, whisking often, about 10 minutes. DO AHEAD Caramel sauce can be made 5 days ahead. Cover; chill. Whisk over low heat until warm before using.
• For crust:.
• Blend flour, powdered sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and blend until coarse meal forms. Add egg yolks. Pulse until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD Dough for tart crust can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For filling:.
• Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add apples and toss until evenly coated.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Cut overhang even with top of pan sides. Press sides of dough to bring 1/4 inch above sides of pan. Arrange apple quarters, cut side down, in circle around outer edge of pan, fitting snugly. Cut remaining apple quarters lengthwise in half; stand in center of tart, fitting snugly.
• Bake tart until apples are tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove tart from oven; brush with some of caramel sauce. Cool tart to room temperature. Rewarm remaining caramel sauce. Drizzle tart lightly with sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Immediately after unrolling phyllo sheets, spray with nonstick spray. Divide sheets into two stacks of three. Cut each stack into six sections by cutting each in half lengthwise and then into thirds horizontally. You should now have twelve mini stacks.
• Prepare a 12 cup muffin pan by spraying with nonstick spray. Gently place each mini stack into a cup, pressing down lightly with your fingers so the dough creates a cup shape. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
• In a small unheated pot, combine butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon with 1 tablespoon water. Stir until ingredients have mostly dissolved.
• Over medium heat, cook and stir brown sugar mixture until it thickens to a caramel sauce-like consistency.
• Reduce heat to low and add the apples. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until apples have softened, stirring continuously so the filling does not burn.
• Evenly distribute filling among the twelve pastry shells. If you like, top with Reddi-wip just before serving. Enjoy hot or cold!

Steps:

• Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Wash apples by gently rubbing with an abrasive scrub sponge and a few drops of dish detergent. Rinse and dry well; remove stem. Push sticks into tops of apples; set aside.
• Microwave caramels and milk in a tall deep microwave-safe bowl or 2 cup glass measure on HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes or until melted, stirring after 1 1/2 minutes.
• Dip and swirl apples in melted caramel mixture, using a spoon to spread evenly. Place on prepared pan and refrigerate at least 15 minutes or until caramel sets.
