French Apple Raisin Tart

Picture
Prepare raisins (Do this first)

¼ cup of raisins
¼ cup of red wine
Soak raisins in the red wine at the beginning while preparing the rest of tart.  



Ingredients for crust

1 ½ cup flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
pinch of salt
½ stick or 4 oz. unsalted butter
1 egg
2-3 Tbsp. ice water

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt and butter.  Mix on pulse mode until flour is grainy.  Add egg and mix on pulse mode.  Add one tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms into a ball while mixing.
Roll out the dough into a nice circle.  Fold into four then open up into a 9-inch pie pan (preferably glass or ceramic).  Shape edges so that it makes a nice twisted braid pattern.  Poke holes on the bottom of the pan with a fork (about 10 times).  Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly brown.

Apple Mixture (Part 1)

5  apples (peeled and sliced)
¾ cups of water
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup honey
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼  tsp. nutmeg
1 Tbsp. butter
pinch of salt

Combine water, sugar, honey in a large pot.  Heat until boiling.  Add in apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and butter.  Cook until the apple is tender.

Egg Paste (Part 2)

¼ cup of Greek yogurt or Creme Fraiche
¼ cup sugar
2 large eggs
pinch of salt

Mix above ingredients together with a whisk.  Then, pour cooked apples into the yogurt mixture.  Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for hour at 375 degrees.  Serves 8 people.
