Apple tart

     Today I am posting recipe of apple tart which I tried to bake at first time. It was easy to make and took not too much time.
      For the pastry: 
- 300 g of flour;
- 150 g + 50 g of butter;
- pinch of salt;
- 2 tablespoons + 2 tablespoons sugar;
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk;
- 1 tsp baking powder;
- 4 or 5 apples;
- 2 tablespoons milk;
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs / chopped almonds;
- 100 g of sour cream.

   Flour and 150g butter grind into crumbs. Add salt, baking powder, egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, sour cream and make the dough. Rolls it into a bowl and put in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.

                Prepare a liquid caramel with 50 gr of butter and 2 tablespoons sugar.

                             
                                                            Cut the apples.


  Add to the caramel apples, stir and simmer for 5-7 minutes until fruits become soft.


                                   Divide the dough into a large and smaller parts.


    A large roll out into a circle and lay it in the baking dish, pressing dough to the sides. 


Put the bread crumbs/crushed almonds, for absorbing the excess moisture. Then put the stuffing on top.


Now prepare the "cover" for our cake. Roll out dough, cut into thin strips, forming a lattice. 


                                          

                                           Cut off any excess with a knife.


 Lubricate the cake with mix of milk and egg yolk, and send in a pre-heated 180 ° C oven for 35-45 minutes.
