Breton apple and rhubarb tart


Breton apple and rhubarb tart
This rhubarb and apple tart is given a Breton twist with a base of traditional, butter-rich, sablé biscuit. This is topped with an apple "crémeux" filling. The finishing touch is a layer of rhubarb, cut on the diagonal and oven-poached in a syrup of its own juice.

Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 8 min.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
Prepare 400 ml rhubarb and cut the sticks in half lengthways.

Stage 2 - 2 min.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
Cut the sticks through diagonally (as shown in the photo).

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
Put the rhubarb pieces into a bowl with 75 ml caster sugar and mix well. Leave for 1 hour.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Meanwhile, roll out 300 ml 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.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
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.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
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.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
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.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
Cook for about 20 minutes in the oven until the rhubarb is tender.

Stage 9 - 2 min.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
Drain the rhubarb pieces, keeping the syrup that drains off.

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Breton apple and rhubarb tart
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
Prepare 300 ml 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
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
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.
