Equipment

  • 1 Thermomix / vegetable grater
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Whisk

Ingredients
 
 

FOR THE DOUGH:

  • 500 g flour
  • 250 g butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 10 g baking powder
  • 150 g warm water

FOR THE VANILLA CUSTARD:

  • ½ - 1 pc vanilla pod, to taste
  • 500 g milk
  • 1 pc egg
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

FOR THE APPLE LAYER:

  • 1 kg apples
  • 1 pc lemon
  • Optional: ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • First of all, let’s make the tart dough, because it needs to rest in the refrigerator after crafting it;
  • So, place the butter cut into cubes in the mixing bowl of the Thermomix and melt it 2 MIN – 40℃ (104℉) – SPEED 1
  • If you don’t own a Thermomix, simply melt the butter into a preheated pot or in the microwave.
  • Leave the butter to cool for 1-2 minutes. In this time, using a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder;
  • Now, add all the ingredients for the dough into the mixing bowl (or in a bowl/pot) over the melted butter and knead it with your hand or using DOUGH – 5 MIN
  • Wrap the dough in plastic foil and place it into the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes;
  • During this time, let’s make the vanilla custard and the apples layer
  • For the vanilla custard I used the Vanilla Custard original Cookidoo recipe. If you don’t have a Cookidoo account and neither a Thermomix, I will write you the steps below.
    - Split vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out seeds. Place seeds and vanilla pod in a pot.
    - Add milk, the egg, sugar, salt and cornstarch then cook them at medium heat for 10 minutes while continuously mixing with a whisk
    - Transfer to a serving bowl and use it for your favorite vanilla custard tart pie
  • Preheat the oven at 180℃ (356℉)
  • Now, it’s time to peel the apples and remove their cores. I grated them using the Thermomix 5 SEC – SPEED 5. You can use a vegetable grater to achieve the same result
  • Squeeze the lemon and pour the lemon juice over the apples. Add the sugar and the cinnamon and incorporate them into the grated apples, using a spatula;
  • Cook the apples into a pan/ pot for 5-10 minutes
  • Place them into a sieve to remove their juice
  • Now, it’s time to assembly the apple tart with vanilla custard
  • Divide the tart dough in 3 similar pieces
  • Place each dough between two baking paper sheets and use a rolling pin to stretch the dough. This way, the dough which is very tender will not break and you handle it easily
  • Place the first dough layer on the bottom of the baking tray covered with baking paper (or greased with butter) and prick it with a fork
  • Place the apples in order to achieve a uniform layer
  • Now, stretch the second dough just like you did with the first one and place it over the apples; Prick it with a fork;
  • Place the vanilla custard over the second dough
  • Now, stretch the last dough just like you did with the others and place it over the vanilla custard. Prick it with a fork
  • Place the apple tart with vanilla custard into the preheated oven and bake it for 40 minutes at 180℃ (356℉)
  • Once the vanilla custard tart pie is baked, remove it from the oven and leave it to cool for 30 minutes before serving it
  • If you wish, you can sprinkle icing sugar over the vanilla pudding pie
