Ingredients for Apple Wine Tart

  • Cake Flour
  • Sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Tart Apples
  • Red Wine
  • Vanilla Pudding Mix

How to Make Apple Wine Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 5 ounces (140g) granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine (softened), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Grease a 9.5-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  4. Press the dough into the prepared pan, ensuring it covers the sides.
  5. Peel and thinly slice about 6-8 medium apples (about 4 cups sliced apples) into 1/8 wedges. Arrange evenly over the dough.
  6. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of wine (a mix of red and white is recommended!), 2 (3.9 ounce) packages of instant vanilla pudding mix, and 7 ounces (198g) granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Pour the cooled wine-pudding mixture evenly over the apples.
  8. Bake for 180 minutes (3 hours), or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  9. Let the tart cool completely in the pan before refrigerating overnight.
  10. Carefully run a sharp knife around the edges of the springform pan to loosen the tart. Remove the sides of the pan and transfer the tart to a serving plate.
  11. Decorate with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nut brittle streusel (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
