    an Apple Curd Tart

    Apple Curd Tart is nothing but a delicious dish you can make at home to enjoy your unused slices of apple and to also relish on the perfect smooth texture of the apple curd that some usually just use as bread spread.

    The crust is an excellent crumbly baked puff pastry sheet, and it already possesses a buttery taste, but filled with apple curd? The combination is supreme. No one could say no to a serving or two of this recipe, and that is one thing for sure.

    This recipe is a very versatile one as you may serve it anytime you would like to. You may serve it for breakfast, a light yet satiating meal after going headfirst to a day filled with tasks. You may also serve it as a dessert for lunch, or simply a stand-alone snack for afternoon tea with friends. A weeknight dinner after a long day from work or school also deserves a wonderful dessert alongside the dinner's main course, make sure to serve this dish!

    Before you proceed into thinking that apple curd is just another fruit jam you can make with a typical jam flavor, you are wrong! Apple curd is a very rich and filling spread that boasts a creamy and smooth texture with a sweet and lightly spiced taste. It is mainly made with apples thus, it has a robust apple flavor that was complemented by other mild spices. This curd is usually used for oatmeal toppings, and toast spreads. However, for this recipe, we are going to make a pie-like dish out of it to try some new things!

    What's in This Easy Apple Curd Tart Recipe?

    Puff Pastry Sheet. Hold the apple slices together by using a puff pastry sheet for this recipe. The puff pastry sheet will also give this dish a buttery taste for the crust, and crumbly crisp texture.

    Egg Yolk. You will not incorporate the egg yolk into the recipe, you will just use this for the egg wash, which will help your puff pastry sheet develop a golden color and more crisp texture. It will also help the puff pastry sheet hold the filling together without making a mess.

    Apple Curd. Smooth, creamy, and with the robust apple flavor; it completes the recipe.

    Apple. Make this recipe even more fruity by adding actual slices of apple on the top.

    Granulated Sugar. Sweeten your apples by pouring the exact amount of granulated sugar on top of it

    Powdered Sugar. After baking, you may add even more sweetness to the recipe by sprinkling powdered sugar on the baked good.

    Sliced Almonds. This is a very optional finishing touch to your tart, feel free to skip it if you are not fond of nuts.

    How to Make Apple Curd Tart with Puff Pastry?

    steps of making the recipe
    1. Preheat the oven to 200 C and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
    2. Mix egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl.
    3. Roll the puff pastry out and brush the egg wash on all the edges of the puff pastry, making about 2 cm border.
    4. Spread the apple curd equally on top of the pastry sheet (on the inside of the egg wash border), top with the apple slices.
    5. Sprinkle the apples with granulated sugar.
    6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, let it cool on a wire rack.
    7. Scatter powdered sugar and almond slices on top, slice and serve.

    Top Tips!

    • Do not let your oven temperature exceed 200C. Doing so will easily burn the crust of your tart with the filling uncooked.
    • Apples may seem all the same to you, but there are actually different types of apples out there. Consider using Granny Smith apples as they are the most standard type to use in baking. They are tart, perfect for baking, and they do not melt in as they bake; instead, they keep their structure after time in the oven.

    Some Variation

    • To encourage a golden color for your puff pastry sheet, you use egg yolk and water for the egg wash. However, if you want a simple and delicate brown crust for the recipe, you may consider using the egg yolk and milk combo for the egg wash.
    • Almonds are optional in this recipe, so why don't we use whip cream to finish the recipe off? Top your baked Apple Curd Tart with whip cream for a more creamy and smooth tart experience.

    Serving Suggestions

    This tart can be served as a stand-alone dish. You may simply serve and eat it as it is, without any side dishes. However, if you are planning to include it in your dessert, you should consider serving chicken and vegetable salad as the main course, and then the Apple Curd Tart after. For tea time, green tea would be a perfect pair for this dish. A black hot cup of coffee and this tart is also an excellently simple combo in the morning.

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I store the leftovers of this tart?

    It is always best to serve this dish fresh from the oven. However, on the rare occasion that you still have some leftovers, you may slice it into little pieces before placing them in an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Can I make my own apple curd for the recipe?

    Yes, you may. Feel free to try our easy apple curd recipe.
