Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 8 min.

Prepare 400 g rhubarb and cut the sticks in half lengthways.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.

Cut the sticks through diagonally (as shown in the photo).

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put the rhubarb pieces into a bowl with 75 g caster sugar and mix well. Leave for 1 hour.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Meanwhile, roll out 300 g breton sablé biscuit dough and cut a circle 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter (Use a dessert ring of the right size to help).

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 5 - ⌛ 2 min.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet and sit the circle of Breton sablé dough on this.

I advise leaving the dessert ring around the biscuit to keep it in shape during baking.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 20 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes, keeping a careful eye on it towards the end, as it is important not to overcook the sablé – it should still be slightly soft.

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Leave the oven on.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

Lay the rhubarb in an ovenproof dish and pour over the syrup that has collected in the bottom of the bowl.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 20 min.

Cook for about 20 minutes in the oven until the rhubarb is tender.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 2 min.

Drain the rhubarb pieces, keeping the syrup that drains off.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

Breton apple and rhubarb tart : Stage 10

Sit the sablé base on a baking sheet and put the dessert ring back over it.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 30 min.

Breton apple and rhubarb tart : Stage 11

Prepare 300 g fruit crémeux using apple juice instead of the fruit purée.

Pour the apple crémeux onto the sablé base in the ring.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 5 min.

Breton apple and rhubarb tart : Stage 12

Arrange the rhubarb pieces on top and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the crémeux filling to set.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 3 min.

Breton apple and rhubarb tart : Stage 13

Slip a knife blade around the inside of the ring and lift off.

Transfer the tart to a serving plate and glaze the top with a little of the rhubarb syrup from stage 9.

Your apple and rhubarb tart is ready.

Remarks

If you prefer a thicker filling, make it with stewed apple instead of juice.

This tart looks nicer if there is a mixture of green and red rhubarb. This can be achieved by "cheating" slightly: At Stage 3, use a little grenadine syrup instead of sugar for half the rhubarb.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

How to keep a tart pastry case crisp

The problem with tarts, and fruit tarts in particular, is that the filling (fruit, cream or whatever) ends up soaking into the pastry and turns it soft. Here is a professional tip for avoiding this problem: spread a thin layer of white chocolate, which does not have a strong flavour, in the bottom of the tart. This seals the pastry and it will stay crisp. French pastry chef have a verb for that, it's "chablonner".
