Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Combine 250g all-purpose flour, 30g granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking them together until well incorporated.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 2
Add 125g cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized crumbs.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Work quickly to keep the butter as cold as possible; this prevents the butter from melting and ensures a flaky, tender crust.
- 3
Gradually add 60ml cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork or your hands until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: The dough should be cohesive but not sticky. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit more water; if too wet, a sprinkle of flour.
- 4
Form the dough into a flat disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the butter to firm up.
Yaklaşık 30 dk.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) with a rack in the center.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: Preheating ensures the oven reaches and maintains the correct temperature for even baking.
- 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 30 cm (12-inch) circle, about 3mm (1/8 inch) thick.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Rotate the dough frequently and flour your rolling pin lightly to prevent sticking.
- 7
Carefully transfer the rolled dough to a 24 cm (9.5-inch) tart pan with a removable bottom, gently pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: To transfer easily, roll the dough around your rolling pin and then unroll it over the tart pan.
- 8
Trim any excess dough from the edges using a sharp knife or by rolling the rolling pin over the top of the tart pan. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Pricking the crust prevents it from puffing up excessively during baking.
- 9
Peel, core, and thinly slice 4 apples (about 3-4mm thick). Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the bottom of the tart crust, overlapping them slightly for a beautiful presentation.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn for best results, as they hold their shape well during baking.
- 10
Sprinkle 50g granulated sugar evenly over the arranged apple slices.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
- 11
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 200ml heavy cream, 50g granulated sugar, and 5ml vanilla extract until smooth. If using, stir in 15ml Calvados.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Calvados, an apple brandy, enhances the apple flavor and adds a classic French touch, but it can be omitted if preferred.
- 12
Carefully pour the custard mixture evenly over the apples in the tart shell, ensuring it fills all the gaps.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the apple arrangement.
- 13
Bake the tart for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the custard is set and lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center of the custard should come out clean.
Yaklaşık 55 dk.
Aşçının notu: If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover them with aluminum foil.
- 14
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
Yaklaşık 30 dk.
- 15
While the tart cools, warm 2 tablespoons of apricot jam in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until it becomes pourable and smooth.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: A small amount of water or a splash of Calvados can be added to thin the jam if it's too thick.
- 16
Brush the warm apricot jam evenly over the top of the cooled tart for a beautiful, glossy finish.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
Aşçının notu: This glaze adds shine and a subtle fruity sweetness, protecting the apples from drying out.
- 17
Allow the tart to cool completely to room temperature before serving, which allows the custard to fully set and the flavors to meld.
Yaklaşık 1 sa.
Aşçının notu: Cooling completely is crucial for clean slices and optimal texture.

Tazeliğini koruyun
Serve this exquisite Tarte Normande on its own, or elevate it with a dollop of crème fraîche, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee, a glass of cider, or a sweet dessert wine. For a delightful variation, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apples before baking.
Store leftover Tarte Normande loosely covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
This tart is best served at room temperature. If refrigerated, allow it to sit out for 30-60 minutes before serving. For a slightly warm tart, you can gently reheat individual slices in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5-10 minutes, or until just warmed through.
