Baking
Irish Apple Tart by Shane McMahon
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 250g flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 130g Kerrygold Pure Irish Salted Butter
- 150g sugar
- 1 egg
- 2-3 cloves
- 1/8 liter milk
- 4 firm tart apples
Directions
- Grease a round cake tin (24cm in diameter) with some Kerrygold Butter.
- Mix the flour and baking powder together. Rub the Kerrygold Butter into the flour with your fingertips, until the mixture has the consistency of bread crumbs.
- Add 110g sugar, the beaten egg, cloves - if used - and enough milk to make a soft pastry.
- Divide the pastry into two portions. Roll out one portion into a circular shape and place it in the baking tin. Peel and de-seed the apples, cut into small pieces and, together with the remaining sugar, spread them over the pastry.
- Roll out the remaining pastry and cover the apples. Press the edges together. Make a light cut on top of the pastry.
- Place the baking tin into the oven and bake at 180oC for approximately 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
- The cake may be served warm or cold. Re-heat it gently if it is only eaten the following day.
