How to Make Apple And Or Quince Tarte
- Whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cold shortening, and 1 teaspoon salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 6 tablespoons ice water, and 2 teaspoons white vinegar.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a food processor, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cold unsalted butter (cubed), 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves. Pulse until well combined.
- Spread the sugar mixture evenly over the unbaked pie crust.
- Arrange thinly sliced apples (about 4 medium) and quinces (about 2 medium) in an overlapping pattern on top of the sugar mixture.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar over the fruit.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or even chilled!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
