 Tarte Aux Pommes Recipe from the LanguedocThe Reinette Apple from Le Vigan
Originating from Canada, the reinette was originally taken to Canada by Frenchmen and women in the form of seeds and seedlings, setting off from Normandy and Brittany. It was for a long time the only apple grown in Canada, and the reinette from Le Vigan was a variety exported back to France by the Canadians. If you ask anyone who lives in the Languedoc how to make an apple tart, you will get many different versions. Here is one we like: Tarte aux Pommes Preparation: 20 minutes Cooking: 25 minutes For 6 Ingredients: - 200 g de shortcrust pastry/puff pastry/readymade pâte brisé if in France - 6 reinette apples - 100g icing sugar Wine to accompany: Monbazillac desert wine Cooking instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6). 2. Roll out the pastry, and cover a pastry dish with greaseproof pastry before placing the pastry in it. Cook blind for 15 minutes. 3. Peel the apples (if you prefer, leave the skins on to add colour), remove the cores, cut into quarters and then into fine slices. 4. Remove your pastry dish from the oven. Arrange your apple slices on the dish in a circular pattern as suits your dish. 5. Sprinkle with icing sugar and replace in the oven for another ten minutes at 150°C (Mark 5) 6. Remove from mould and serve with crème anglaise or real English custard if you like. Which apple to use for what? Confused by the variety of apples on offer in French markets?
