Инструкции
- (350 G = 12.5 ounces; 1 kg = 2 pounds; 50 g = 1 3/4 ounces)
- On a lightly floured surface, carefully roll out the dough to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
- Transfer the dough to a 10 1/2-inch (27 cm) black tin tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Carefully press the pastry into the pan and up the sides, trying not to stretch it.
- Trim the overhang, leaving about a 1-inch (2.5 cm) extending over the rim.
- Tuck this overhang inside the pan, pressing gently against the side to create a sturdy, double-sided shell.
- (If you build the pastry a bit higher than the height of the pan, you will have less problem with shrinkage)
- Refrigeratefor at least 20 min.
- Preheat the oven to 375 oF (190 oC).
- Prick the bottom of the shell with the tines of a fork. Carefully line the shell loosely with heavy-duty foil, pressing well into the edges so the pastry does not shrink while baking.
- Fill with pie weights, or possibly dry rice or possibly beans - making sure you get all the way into the edges - to prevent shrinkage.
- Bake just till the pastry begins to brown around the edges and seems hard sufficient to stand up by itself (about 20 min).
- Meanwhile, peel and core the apples. Cut each apple into 12 even wedges.
- Toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
- In a Iarge skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add in the apples, sprinkle on the sugar, and saute/fry, shaking the pan from time to time so the apples cook proportionately.
- Cook till lightly browned on all sides (about 15 min.)
- While the apples cook, prepare the topping: beat the Large eggs and sugar thoroughly till thick and pale. Add in the melted butter and vanilla and continue mixing at high speed till the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Spoon the apples into the center of the prepared pastry shell, arranging them carefully. Pour the topping over the apples.
- Bake till golden brown, about 30 min.
