ingredients
- butter, for greasing the form
- 1 ready-made pie crust
- flour, for dusting
-
For the filling
- 3 lbs firm apples, peeled and cored
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 -4 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄2 cup superfine sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup cold water
- 2⁄3 cup heavy cream
directions
- Lightly grease a 9 inch, loose - bottom fluted tart pan.
- Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured counter and line the pan with it.
- Then roll the rolling pin over the pan to trim the excess dough. Or fit the dough into a pie plate and crimp the edges.
- Put a piece of parchment paper into the tart shell and fill with dried beans (or baking pebbles). Let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes then bake for 10 minutes in a preheated oven, 375F/190°C.
- Remove the beans and the paper and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, take 4 apples, cut each into 8 pieces and toss in the lemon juice. Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the apple pieces until just starting to brown and caramelize on the edges. Remove from skillet and let cool.
- Slice the remaining apples thinly, put them in a pan with the superfine sugar and cook for about 20 minutes, until soft.
- Spoon into the tart shell and arrange the reserved apple pieces on top in a circle. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Put the granulated sugar and water in a pan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Boil to form a caramel.
- Remove from the heat and add the cream, stirring constantly to combine into toffee.
- Remove the tart/pie from the oven, pour the toffee over the apples and let chill for an hour.
