Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Tarte Jurassienne : Stage 1
Line a 10 inch 926 cm) tart tin or dish with the sweetcrust pastry.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Peel 6 apples, cut into quarters, remove the core and slice through again.

Sprinkle the apple slices with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Melt 50 g clarified butter in a large frying pan on high heat. When good and hot, add the apple slices.

Stage 4 - 10 min.

Sauté until lightly brwoned on both sides. There is no need to sweeten them.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

When the apples are browned, pour 100 ml Jura Macvin over and leave to reduce.

Leave to cool.

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Spread an even layer of 300 g rich hazelnut buttercream in the bottom of the pastry case.

Stage 9 - 5 min.
Tarte Jurassienne : Stage 9
Leave to cool on a wire rack. If possible, glaze the top, using a brush.
Remarks
You will notice that in stage 4 no sugar is added to the apples. There reall is no need, as the Macvin du Jura is already plenty sweet enough, as is the hazelnut buttercream filling.

[Translator's note: I chose to keep the French name, but I was so tempted to call this "Jurassic Tart"!].
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

How to glaze a tart
How to glaze a tart
Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs below) and also protects it from the air and thus from oxidation and browning. It's a quite simple technique that you can easily apply to give to your desserts a professional look. This is how you do it.

Often when making gratins, crumbles or other oven-cooked dishes, you will need to butter the dish or mould. To butter (or grease) means to rub inside the mould with a knob of butter to prevent the mixture sticking too much. Instead of putting a knob of butter in the dish and wiping with paper, here is a smart and quicker way.

  • Hi,
    You could use something not to high in alcohol and sweet. I guess you are out of France, but if you have access to liquor like Muscat, Banyuls, Porto or Marsala, it will be good second choice.
    Of course, it will be better with Macvin!
