Method
How to make Medieval Apple Tart (Silver Palate)
- Unwrap the phyllo sheets and cover them with a damp towel for 10 minutes. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Preheat the oer to 425°F.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly butter a 14-inche baking pan. Lay a phyllo sheet on the pan. Remember to re-cover the unused phyllo with a damp towel each time. Brush the phyllo with some of the melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and
- Arrange the apples in the center of the top sheet of phyllo in a circular mount about 6 inches in diameter. Brush them with butter and sprinkle with some sugar and Grand Marnier.
- Stack 6 more phyllo sheets on top of the apples, repeating and buttering and sprinkling with sugar and Grand Marnier. The top (twelfth) sheet of phyllo should only be buttered.
- Trim off the corners of the phyllo sheets so you have a large round about 8 inches in diameter. Turn up the edges of the phyllo and pinch lightly to seal. Be tidy but don't work too long on this; the tart should look rustic.
- Set the pan on the center of the oven and bake until golden, 30-40 minutes. If the pastry becomes too brown before this time, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Serve the tart immediately or reheat gently before serving.
- Serve with a dollop of Creme Fraiche.
