How To Make Traditional Irish Apple Tart. Get the Recipe

This is my mother's Traditional Apple Tart Recipe from Co.Armagh the orchard county in Northern Ireland. Apple Tart Pastry: 9 oz plain flour 4 ½ oz butter 1 teaspoon icing sugar Pinch of salt 2 egg yolks + approximately 5 - 6 tablespoons cold water Filling: 3 large Bramley apples Granulated sugar about 5-6 oz Ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon 1 x 10” plate Preheat oven to 180C To make the pastry put the flour in a bowl, rub in the butter until combined but do not over work it. Add the sugar and salt. Beat the egg yolks with half of the water and add, mix in with a knife and bring together with your hand. Add more water as required. There should be just enough liquid to make the mixture come together so it leaves the bowl clean but is not sticky. Alternatively, using a food processor, blitz the flour and butter together with the sugar and salt. Add the egg mixture and blitz until it just starts coming together. Divide the pastry in two and wrap in cling film, rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes – 1 hour. The resting allows the gluten in the flour to relax so that the pastry is easier to roll out. On a floured surface, roll out half of the pastry just large enough to fit the plate. Roll the pastry up on the rolling pin and then lay on the plate (no need to grease). Peel the apples and slice directly on to the pastry, add the sugar and a good sprinkling of cinnamon. Roll out the other half of the pastry, dampen the edges of the pastry on the plate with water and using the rolling pin, lay the other piece on top. Press down around the edges and then crimp the edges together with a knife to seal. Cut a little hole in the top. Place on a tray and then bake in the oven for about 35-45 minutes until light golden brown. Dust with caster or icing sugar before serving.
