Sweet Tart Challenge – Inspiration
June 26, 2010 in Uncategorized
So about almost 2 weeks ago, Inspiration set a challenge to bake a sweet tart… I know Im posting this late – 1st I was busy, then I forgot the recipe at home… and then almost forgot completely! The new challenge for this week was a savoury tart – which I think I’ll be making on Monday for dinner…
The only reason I think I actually could take part in this particular challenge was because Hubs had his birthday on the 17th.
We invited the nearest and dearest for a bit of Koek en Tee (Tea & Cake).
We had some chicken sausage rolls (out a box), a very lekker ‘groot’ koek, and then apple tart.
Very nice icing attempt! lol
Now for the APPLE TART:
1 cup cake flour
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1 (or 2) cans of baking/tart apples
Cinnamon
- With an electric mixer, beat the eggs, butter & sugar together.
- Add all the dry ingredients and lastly the milk, mix well.
- Layer 1/2 your apples in a greased oven proof dish, dust with cinnamon,
- Pour over the tart mix (deeg) and add the rest of the apple pieces on top (it will sink down though)
* you can cut the apple pieces to bite size.
- Bake at 180′C for approx 30min (subject to the depth of your dish, the deeper the longer it takes, test with a clean knife for doneness – if the knife come out clean its done!)
SYRUP:
1/2 cup butter (125gr)
1 cup brown Sugar (or white)
1 cup milk (or 200ml milk & 50 ml cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 or 2 cinnamon sticks (or 1 teaspoon grounded cinnamon)
- Boil all the ingredients together, keep warm until the tart is done
- If you used the cinnamon sticks, remove
- Once the tart is done, remove from oven, prick with a fork or knife (I sommer cut the tart into portions allready)
- Pour the hot syrup over the hot tart
- Enjoy warm or cold with ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Apologies for my pic – but it still makes me want to take a spoon and take a bite out of it..
I got some lovely pieces of Sole from The Food Lovers Market this morning, and teaming it up with a bit of garlic and lemon… and a first in our house hold – FENNEL Bulbs, not sure what to do it, but will think of something! lol I will report on the result…soon! Got many things still to share!…
Happy weekend to you all!!!!!!!!!

I could eat some of that right now but I am trying to lose some weight before I go over to the UK. I don’t like fennel at all, I was surprised because I like all things licorice.

take a look at my recipe for the savoury tart challenge – fennel can also be pan fried – on a griddle pan it looks awesome, and goes really well with fish! Hope you had a super weekend xxx

Loose weight in winter? Thats like mission impossible!! Im just gaining at the moment…
I actually dont like licorice – and I ate the fennel – hubs loves licorice – didnt touch it! Maybe I made it wrong! hehe (salt & pepper and butter in a pan till just soft..)

Dankie Ghaap!!

Thanks Zabs! Personally I like an apple crumble more- but have never made one myself.. this has been the much easier choice! Apples and Cinnamon goes soo well together!

Dankie!! Die sole (aka Tongvis) was baie baie lekker!! Selfs manlief wat nie groot vis-liefhebber is wou nog 2nds gehad het!

Thanks – I called the cake spikey… best I could do icing wise! Maybe one day I too can perfect all those fancy techniques!

Thanks Elsie – have a great week!
sharonsmit said on June 28, 2010
That was the only bit I did know – it goes with fish! Next time I’ll griddle it! (hubs didnt like it, veggies shouldnt taste like sweets).
