Carla Makes an Apple Tart | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

[@jayhuang3962]

Claire's a goddess and all, but Carla's recipes are the one that make you go "Hmm this looks doable!"

[@takeadeepbreathin]

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking!

[@pixybubble]

That’s actually so true! I find myself making Carla’s and Molly’s recipes the most since they feel the most approachable I think? I love all the chefs though they’re all great ^^

[@jon368100]

I think it's just Claire's style. I'm super detail oriented like she is, and I enjoy doing her recipes. The cherry cobbler is one I make once a month now.

[@aliasjsjsjs8783]

She approaches it like a mother, she knows you might not have the time/need/want for finicky details or things that aren’t really necessary, and isn’t scared of using ingredients or methods other chefs might scoff at or look at in horror

[@EVEspinosa79]

It is funny that I love Carla and Claire for the opposite reasons. I love how much Claire is incredibly nerdy about cooking and therefore gets all stressed out about things coming out perfect and Carla, while being as professional as Claire, always has a chilled out vibe around her that makes you feel that even when things may get difficult (like with the elaboration of cheese on the pizza vids), she'll figure it out and things will be OK.

[@TheSonicfan91]

She’s like a chill auntie

this pastry dough method is so much more appealing to me because i hate rubbing butter into flour with a passion, it gets under all my nails no matter how short i keep them. my mom will appreciate this tart since there's so little sugar in it, thank you carla!

Love the butter flattening in the dough! As a hot-handed pie maker, this is a GAME CHANGER.

[@cozyvamp]

That crust! It's like a shaggy puff pastry. I've got to try this technique. I love that you point out how weird it looks and encourage us to not worry because it's supposed to be that way. ;) Thanks, Carla!

[@TheOlliegrace]

Beejay Swifter that’s exactly what I was thinking!

[@beccak8166]

Right? It's borderline laminated too, great method

[@jon368100]

It's my go to tart and gallette crust now. I haven't tried it for pies yet. I think it would be great if you did a solid top dough with no designs, but if you want to do a weave etc you'll want to do regular pie dough.

[@gregorsamsa1364]

It's called "flaky pastry"

[@PS-jh3in]

this is the pastry recipe that taught me how to trust Carla. *never doubt Carla*. every time I've made it it has done exactly what it's supposed to do, come together, and then baked into this buttery/flaky masterpiece that has all of my friends thinking I'm a professional. I had to flip it a fourth time to get everyone to be friends but after I let it rest it was awesome.

[@WeeGhile]

*clicks amazon prime* *adds bench scraper to basket*

Same!

[@Nedread]

I started making the dough and realized we didn't actually own a bench scraper like I thought we did. I ended up using a metal barbecue spatula. Worked remarkably well.

[@_helmi]

Duke Wheeler i think so too. Because i have seen, eaten and made things with apples, cinnamon will always brighten up the whole thing.

[@chuckychuck8318]

Cinnamon pairs very well with starchy veggies and rich in pectin fruits. And I would really recommend some black pepper too.

[@kyliessave8454]

Was thinking the same thing!!!! Yum!!!

[@MlleFunambuline]

I would perhaps hide the subtle flavours of brown butter. (And why add cinnamon everywhere there is an apple?)

[@AlaaChan]

The first tart/pie I made in my life! It turned out amazing! Thanks for making it easy enough for the inexperienced to make too!

[@RamblinRick_]

Just discovered this channel, even though I'm a former BA subscriber (I may have to renew). Carla is so relaxed when demonstrating. She makes the whole process look fun and easy. I also like that parts that could have been edited out or re-shot, such as the earring and not mentioning how long to bake until she is asked, are left in. And that is the easiest, no-frills crust recipe I've seen. I make tarts and pies. I'll try this crust as well. sidebar: More Carla demos, please.

[@mrkhan]

4:51 - Carla: I also don't think there's any great advantage to like under flouring too, like you're not - don't be a hero - y'know what I mean. Give yourself and give the dough the flour that it needs to not stick. Me: *so much emotions* Best life advice ever. Carla is a fountain of wisdom and has this incredible poise.

[@gracedaniel1657]

carlacarlacarlacarla MORE CARLA- anyway.. made my day to see another BA videoooo :)

[@prjndigo]

If you wanna do this and ... well, do the folding... you want some nice tightly woven canvass for the kitchen. You'll have to hand wash and special dry the stuff but you can get really really good quick folds out of it. The canvass will capture some of the butter - you can very gently pre-load it with a little. The small fibers that will come off won't be a digestive problem. I also use a drill guide and a 5/8" auger bit to core apples.... Very important not to "pack" the stuffing of a piled tart into the crust, you'll need air gaps for the cooking to happen/breathe the heat into the fruit. You can enhance this by using a crinkle cutter for slicing the apples on your practice tart.

[@amandaxxcastilho]

it would be fantastic to have a ba christmas special with out favorite chefs... vinny... persuade them!!

[@mariachristina97]

This recipe saved my Thanksgiving dessert! Thank you! The night before Thanksgiving, my mom and I realize that we only have a trader Joe's pumpkin pie for the 15 people coming for dinner. I ran into the store and grabbed some frozen puff pastry and a bag of apples. We had no tart pans so I used 2 small cake pans for the 2 tarts. Sliced the apples, tossed with lemon juice, sugar, salt, and a pinch of cinnamon. Pressed the dough down, browned the butter, filled the tarts, stuck them in a super hot oven. Boom...2 beautiful flaky apple tarts made in a pinch the night before Thanksgiving.

[@violetnicole1500]

I personally prefer Fuji apples

[@philaphobic]

I like to slice my cold butter really thin and add it to my flour instead if doing that first rolling technique. I think rolling out between 2 sheets of parchment reduces extra flour and I think that helps prevent cracking around the edges. I really want one of those rolling pins... looks perfect. I love Carla videos!

Isabella Embly it's the same ingredients as most pie crusts. Probably just adjust the amounts to get enough for the top of the pie.

I'd assume that you can use any filling that you want. Maybe read up on how specific fillings tend to act then plan around it. Like trying to add a bit of sugar to the peaches, and waiting for moisture to be pulled out. You might even be able to make a nice glaze with that separated moisture.
