Pink Pearl Apple Tarts with Spiced Mascarpone Honey Cream
This beauty is a crowd pleaser people! Sparkle! Sparkle! XX-Gwyn
Ingredients
The Crust
1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and cold
½ teaspoon pink salt
4 tablespoons ice water
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Filling
3 Pink Pearl Apples
*Substitute: Honey Crisp Apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
16 ounces Mascarpone Cheese
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons allspice
Instructions
The Crust
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture by snapping with clean fingers or using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the vinegar and ice water and stir until the dough just comes together. Pat into a flat rectangle about an inch thick, cover in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until cold.
The Apples
Peel and core the apple. Slice in half. Lay each side flat and slice into thin half moon pieces. Add the apples to a bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Repeat with the rest of the apples. Set aside.
Assembly
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix together the light brown sugar and the allspice and set aside.
In a bowl, add the mascarpone cheese, honey, and whipping cream. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 1/4 inch thick square larger than the tart pan. Lay the dough across the pan and press off edges.
Spread the Mascarpone Honey Cream carefully onto the crust.
Place the apple slices over the filling shingling the slices one onto the other.
Sprinkle with the sugar/allspice mixture.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until apples are soft and crust is golden brown.
Serve hot with a dollop of whipped cream.
