Title: TARTE AUX POMMES (APPLE TART)
Categories: Tarts, Fruits
Yield: 1 tart

350 g Rough Puff Pastry

————————–FILLING————————–
1 kg Apples; Golden Delicious
– or Granny Smith
3 tb Lemon juice
2 tb Butter; unsalted
50 g Sugar

————————–TOPPING————————–
2 Eggs
100 g Sugar
6 tb Butter; unsalted, melted
1 ts Vanilla extract

(350 g = 12.5 ounces; 1 kg = 2 pounds; 50 g = 1 3/4
ounces)

On a lightly floured surface, carefully roll out the
dough to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.

Transfer the dough to a 10 1/2-inch (27 cm) black tin
tart pan with a removable bottom.

Carefully press the pastry into the pan and up the
sides, trying not to stretch it.

Trim the overhang, leaving about a 1-inch (2.5 cm)
extending over the rim.

Tuck this overhang inside the pan, pressing gently
against the side to create a sturdy, double-sided
shell.

(If you build the pastry a bit higher than the height
of the pan, you will have less problem with shrinkage)

Chill for at least 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 oF (190 oC).

Prick the bottom of the shell with the tines of a
fork. Carefully line the shell loosely with heavy-duty
foil, pressing well into the edges so the pastry does
not shrink while baking.

Fill with pie weights, or dry rice or beans – making
sure you get all the way into the edges – to prevent
shrinkage.

Bake just until the pastry begins to brown around the
edges and seems firm enough to stand up by itself
(about 20 minutes).

Meanwhile, peel and core the apples. Cut each apple
into 12 even wedges. Toss them in a bowl with the
lemon juice to prevent discoloration.

In a Iarge skillet, melt the butter over medium-high
heat. Add the apples, sprinkle on the sugar, and
saute, shaking the pan from time to time so the apples
cook evenly.

Cook until lightly browned on all sides (about 15
minutes.)

While the apples cook, prepare the topping: beat the
eggs and sugar thoroughly until thick and pale. Add
the melted butter and vanilla and continue mixing at
high speed until the ingredients are thoroughly
incorporated.

Spoon the apples into the center of the prepared
pastry shell, arranging them carefully. Pour the
topping over the apples.

Bake until golden, about 30 minutes.

HTIPITI TIROSALATA (MASHED CHEESE SALAD)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Appetizers Greek

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Tsouskes
Oil for frying peppers
1 lb Feta cheese
3 tb Oil (olive, what else? K.M.)

Tsouskes are hot spicy peppers. Of course the best is
green long peppers which grow only in Macedonia are
extremely hot and very tasty.

You fry them in oil, you peel their skin and you chop
them into very small pieces. How many it depends on
how hot they are and how spicy you can eat. After, you
cut about 1 pound of feta in to small pieces and you
mix it with the peppers. Add about 3 table spoons of
olive oil. Work all the ingredients with the fork
until it becomes a paste. Be careful: I said with
fork. Not with food processor, not with goudhi. Just
FORK. 🙂

You are all set. Enjoy with bread or crackers as
appetizer.
