Apple Tart with Crème Anglaise Vegan
Tart Ingredients
½ C. spelt flour
2 Tbsp walnuts
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp ice cold water
Tart Preparation
Process all but the water in a food processor. Slowly add the water, a tablespoon at a time, through the food processor opening. Continue adding water just until the dough clumps together. Stop the processor. Turn out on a floured board. Divide into (4) four equal portions. Roll out until thin, dusting with flour as you roll. Line a tart pan or 4 small baking dishes with the tart dough. Bake at 360º for about ten minutes until golden in color.
Apple Filling
Ingredients
4 apples skinned cored sliced thin
2 Tbsp tupelo honey
Dash cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Apple juice as needed
Preparation
Put all the apple filling ingredients in a pan on the stove while the tart shells continue baking. Simmer all together and taste for sweetness. Add more tupelo honey if needed. Cook about twenty minutes until apples are soft. Add apple juice to cover the apples. If mixture is too sweet or tastes a bit bland, add a squeeze of lemon juice to perk it up. Once the tart shells have cooked, pour the apple mixture equally divided between the (4) tart shells. Put the prepared apple tarts in the oven for about ten minutes at 300º. Prepare the crème Anglaise.
