Apple vanilla tart: a new taste with every bite
Sablé Breton, Tatin apples, vanilla mousse and praline chocolate ganache
Hello food lovers,
how about a tart that tastes different with every bite? A dessert often loses its excitement after the first few bites. This tart surprises you anew every time!
On a Sablé Breton sit domes of Tatin apples, hemispheres of vanilla mousse and dots of praline chocolate ganache.
The components can easily be prepared on different days.



Ingredients
For the Tatin apples
For the vanilla mousse
Step by step
Tatin apples
Dice the apples
Peel 320 g apples and cut them into cubes of about 5 mm. Gala apples are perfect thanks to their acidity, sweetness and firmness.



Cook until glossy
Cook the apples with 25 g invert sugar and 15 g butter in a deep pan for 15 to 20 minutes, until glossy. Stir every 2 minutes.



Gelatine and cream
Weigh out 2 g gelatine powder with the spoon scale and stir it into 10 g cold water. Warm 20 g full-fat cream for 20 seconds at 600 watts.



Caramel
Melt 50 g sugar dry in thin layers. Do not stir, just lift the pan from time to time until a golden caramel forms.



Cream and gelatine
Pour the warm cream onto the caramel and mix it with the whisk. Then stir in the Gelatine.



Add the apples
Add the apples to the caramel and let them absorb the caramel over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes.



Into the mold
Fill the apples into the hemisphere mold Ø 4 cm and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours.



Vanilla mousse
Soak the gelatine
Soak 1 sheet of Gelatine in cold water in a measuring cup.



Egg yolk and sugar
Whisk 1 egg yolk with 25 g sugar until pale.



Vanilla
Split a vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.



Bring the cream to the boil
Bring 125 g double cream to the boil with the seeds and pod, then remove it from the heat immediately.



Cook the custard
Pour the cream over the egg mixture, stir everything together and return it to the pot. Remove from the heat as soon as it first bubbles and keep stirring briefly.



Gelatine and cool
Stir in the squeezed-out Gelatine, remove the pod and let the custard cool to 25 to 29 °C.



Whip the mascarpone
Whip 50 g mascarpone with 25 g double cream.



Mousse
Gently fold 145 g of the vanilla custard into the mascarpone mixture in 2 portions and smooth it with the dough scraper.



Into the mold
Fill the mousse into the hemisphere mold, Ø 3 cm, and freeze for at least 2 hours.



Praliné ganache
Bring to a boil
Bring 25 g Praliné Bring to a boil while stirring with 62 g double cream. Add 62 g dark chocolate to a glass bowl.



Emulsify
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in 3 portions and stir gently until the ganache is smooth.



Chill
Cover the ganache directly on the surface with cling film and chill for at least 2 hours.



Sablé Breton
Butter and sugar
Cream 110 g butter with 105 g sugar. Add 2 egg yolks, 2 g salt and 4 g baking powder to it, weighed with the spoon scale.



Flour
Add 150 g Flour to it and mix on speed 1 with the flat beater for no more than 10 to 20 seconds.



Roll out inside the ring
Place the dough on baking paper, set a perforated cake ring Ø 25 cm on top, cover it with baking paper and roll it out evenly inside the ring with a small rolling pin.



Baking
Put the dough with the ring in the freezer for 1 hour. Then bake on a perforated baking sheet for 20 to 25 minutes at 170 °C convection, and let it cool without the ring.



Finishing
Arrange the hemispheres
Place the frozen hemispheres in alternating rows on the sablé: vanilla along the edge, then apple, then vanilla again.



Shine
Spray the frozen hemispheres with Gelatine spray. They will first turn white, but become beautifully glossy once thawed.



Pipe the ganache
Fill the ganache into a piping bag fitted with a 8 mm round piping nozzle, let it soften for 5 minutes and pipe dots onto the tart. Then let it thaw in the fridge for 2 hours.



Edible gold leaf
Using the cooking tweezer, place a few pieces of Edible gold leaf onto the hemispheres.

Question de Coralie
By: Coralie H. On 2021-02-09Bonjour Karin,
Alors j'ai testé ce weekend. Très bonne mais par contre, chez moi les sphères de pommes tatin avaient pas une texture super agréable. Trop de gélatine. Ma cuillière de précision ne fonctionnait pas (je vous ferai un mail à ce sujet), alors c'est peut-être pour ça. Mais j'aurais tendance à retester avec la moitié de gélatine. Le biscuit était assez dur à couper. L'aurais-je laisser trop longtemps au four à votre avis ? Merci pour ces belles recettes et vos conseils !
