Traditional Irish Apple Tart

Shortcrust Pastry
250g of Plain Flour
150g of Butter
160ml of Water
Filling
5 Granny Smiths or
3 large Cooking Apples
4 tbsp of Sugar
Egg wash (optional)
2 egg yolks
Pinch of sugar
Pinch of salt
Use a lightly greased ovenproof plate for this and bake it at 200C Conventional oven for 30 minutes
You will never achieve the same crisp bottom baking on a plate as opposed to metal which heats up faster. To avoid a soggy bottom keep the base cool in the fridge as I did in the video. You can also brush the base with some beaten eggwhite

I never thought i'd have a Dub living in Denmark telling a Corkonian how to bake a tart. top notch lad!!

My Grandma used to bake apple tart... After school, she always made me smile with a big slice... Your tart brought back this joyful memory... And I'll will give a try to this recipe... Thank you kindly, mate...

[@irishbakerabroad]

Ah glad to hear it. Thanks for watching it! 🇮🇪

[@Knappa22]

This is a staple in Wales too. Tarten afalau we call it. Also done on a plate - usually an enamel one with a blue rim.

[@mariedavis8635]

Have you thought about putting a book together. Your videos are so easy to follow if you did a book the same way as you present your videos it would be class.

[@irishbakerabroad]

Cheers Marie! Yes, I’m definitely going to look in to getting some sort of book or e-book done when I get time. Thanks ☘️

[@Buckleyelinor]

Very delicious- I’m from Dublin and I so remember the tart on a plate- I would mess that one up so I would use metal dis instead

[@irishbakerabroad]

Yeah if you want a bottom that’s more crisp use metal. Cheers for watching it. Up the Dubs! 😊☘️

[@lexilooloo7873]

beautiful! my mom made this the same way! ❤

[@paddydoherty2556]

Chris love this recipe, personally I put corn flour in the apples to control the juices in the tart

[@irishbakerabroad]

Yes that’s correct. You can use cornstarch for that. Cheers Paddy! ☘️

[@henriettagoldsmith5056]

Man alive 😮😮 just seen you for first time. This little old lady of 74 has never made this before...I think I would like to try....I have subscribed to you.😘

You need to watch the Irish scones video I’ve made them many times they are delicious but for some reason I seem to have to watch the video even though I have written down the recipe watch it and you will understand why…

[@henriettagoldsmith5056]

[@iusetabs]

Was craving a tart after the Christmas hols at home. I'm living in Vienna and also went for the granny smith apples but got some Kerrygold easy enough ;) Tart turned out great, first time I've ever made one by myself! Will have a gander at your other videos too, thx for making an Irishman abroad less homesick :-D

[@irishbakerabroad]

Yes, check out the Apple crumble tart video for that 😊

[@jacquelinemartin9124]

Hi Chris, Jackie here from Dublin, I watched your video right to the end and was disappointed that you didn’t slice the tart on camera. The reason being, I find the bottom pastry soggy and raw. So much so that it’s hard to get it up off the plate. Would it be ok to pre cook the bottom half 1st? Thanks Jackie ☘️🇮🇪

[@irishbakerabroad]

Howaya Jackie! Yeah this can happen when you bake it on a plate. Metal heats it up quicker ya see and it bakes more evenly. You could blind bake it first then add the filling and cover. You can also lightly beat an egg white and brush the bottom with it. Put it in the fridge after just like in the video. After you fill and cover the tart put it back in the fridge for about 20 minutes before baking it. The egg white seals it and prevents the juices from seeping through. I’ll do another video on it. I should’ve said it here ☘️

[@cyrilstevenson5833]

Chris Great and Simple Recipe. You forgot to say the Fork Holes at the end are to let the Leprechauns out.. Otherwise very good.

[@irishbakerabroad]

Cheers Thanks a lot! 😄🇮🇪

[@SaorAlba1970]

i make Apple Tart different from yourself, i'm fae Scotland and i refuse to call it Apple pie, it was always Apple Tart when i was growing up, i make a deep apple tart, so i cut my apples into wedges and i uses coxes apples they are fairly sweet and hard and i part cook them in a home made syrup sauce and i pre bake the lower half of the pastry

[@irishbakerabroad]

Sounds lovely! Yes, I make different types of apple tarts and pies. This was just one I grew up with being baked on a plate ☘️

[@SaorAlba1970]

@@irishbakerabroad the syrup is basically made up of butter a lot of sugar 100 mls of water and 150 mls of Flambé Magners (Irish cider) and add it to the syrup mixture containing the apples, my dad used to make his apple tart on a steel plate and his apple tarts were made the same way as yours

[@irishbakerabroad]

@@SaorAlba1970 Yes, steel will heat and bake the bottom better. I generally bake pies and tarts in metal dishes or pans. That sounds lovely! 😊
