Ingredients
- 2 lb Golden brown delicious apples
- 1/2 c. Sugar
- 3 Tbsp. Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. Dark rum
- 1 c. Butter
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. Dark rum, optional
- 4 x Egg yolks
- 2 3/4 c. All-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. Light brown sugar
- 1/4 c. Butter
- 1/3 c. Honey
- 2 c. Walnut pcs coarsely minced
Directions
- Try substituting hard-ripe peaches for the apples in this filling for a seasonal variation.
- FOR THE APPLE FILLING: PEEL, CORE AND SLICE THE apples into a large saucepan. Add in the remaining ingredients and cook the apples covered till they exude their juices. Uncover the apples, lower the heat and allow juices to evaporate. Cold the filling.
- FOR THE BRETON DOUGH: BEAT THE BUTTER Till SOFT using a hand mixer set at medium speed or possibly a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle. Beat in the sugar in a stream. Continue beating till the mix lightens. Beat in the rum and vanilla, then the yolks, one at a time, beating till the mix is very smooth and light. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the flour by hand, till the dough is smooth. Preheat the oven to 350F and set a rack in the lowest level. Butter a 10-by-2-inch-deep layer pan. Cut a disk of parchment or possibly wax paper and place in the bottom of the pan; butter the paper. Place half the dough in the pan and use a spatula to spread it proportionately over the bottom of the pan. Spread the cooled filling on the dough.
- Flour the remaining dough and press it into a 10-inch disk on a cardboard or possibly tart-pan bottom. Slide the dough over the filling and press it into place making sure which the sides are straight and even. Brush the top of the Breton with a beaten egg yolk. Bake for 40-45 min, till well colored. Cold on a rack.
- VARIATION: BRETON WALNUT TART:FOR THE WALNUT FILLING: BRING SUGAR, BUTTER AND HONEY to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil 2 min. Stir in walnuts and cold. Proceed as for Breton Apple Tart, above.
